!!! Under New Management !!! It's The ILM NON-ELITIST METAL ALBUMS POLL 2012 NOMINATIONS THREAD

I will add albums from http://pitchfork.com/features/show-no-mercy/9021-the-top-40-metal-albums-of-2012/ that are not already nominated.

Anyone have full lists for Revolver or Terrorizer? Any other metal publications? Does Hit Parader still exist? Was there a Spin metal list?

Here's my favourites of the metal and metal-ish stuff I've reviewed or heard this year (that aren't already nominated). I'm probably missing something but anyway:

Dead Neanderthals - Jazzhammer/Stormannsgalskap
Dying Fetus - Reign Supreme
Jodis - Black Curtain
Murder Construct - Results
On Pain Of Death - Year Naught Doom
Serpentine Path - Serpentine Path
Wölfbait - Wölfbait

Removed lostprophets due to the singers arrest as mentioned here can't believe ilx has no lostprophets thread

There was a spin list, actually. I am out so I don't have the link at hand, but should be fairly easy to find.

Also, sorry for being kind of a prat on this thread.

Can only find http://www.albumoftheyear.org/ratings/10-spin-highest-rated/2012/1 but will look further

found one without having to click through http://www.metalinsider.net/lists/spin-lists-their-top-20-metal-albums-for-you-to-argue-over

I've found out deftones won Revolver Album of 2012 but not seen the list of top 20 albums. Can someone try and post list here before friday night?

This is highly unorthodox but Algerian Goalie msged me and while he is apparently on an ILM posting quarantine he wants to nominate some albums. If nomination-by-proxy is allowed, his list is as follows:

Drudkh - Eternal Turn of the Wheel
Behold... the Arctopus - Horrorscension
Colour Haze - She Said
My Sleeping Karma - Soma
Dawnbringer - Into The Lair Of The Sun God
Cauldron - Tomorrow's Lost
Furze - Psych Minus Space Control
OM - Adviatic Songs
Raventale - Transcendence

I suppose if you think this is me trying to sneak in more nominations of my own (although AFAIK I have 5 left), some third party can back me up... AG if you're lurking plz let someone else know so they can confirm.

Thanks!

Tell him that's fine and he has more nominations left if he wants to add them and I am glad he is participating.

Thank you I will add most of it that's not already nominated but which of these aren't metal/heavy rock/alt-metal and shouldn't be in the nominations list? Amanda Palmer obviously. How Scott Walker? unlikely to have guitar riffs I'd imagine. Mono and Gybe are as guitar heavy as anything on Kerrang list so that's fine especially as no-one has to vote for them if they feel it shouldn't count.

Remember this is a non-elitist poll compared to previous polls. Lets be more open-minded and unafraid of less hip more mainstream albums.

What about pop-punk? Green Day and other bands like them were on the Kerrang! list and made it into the nominations spreadsheet... where do we stand on that?

Liars, black bananas and hexvessel aren't metal. The new mono is basically a neoclassical CD, although I don't really care if you include it or not. It's not so much a matter of being elitist or mainstream, more a matter of having things on the list that just don't fit the genre.

And it isn't a matter of serious voters voting for those albums, and more that if there are things that trolls can vote for to screw up the poll, they will vote for them.

That's why I didn't nominate Goatpenis this year.

I got the Deiphago album through the post finally. Came as a rather splendid picture disc with brilliant artwork, an iron-on patch and a CD. Music sounds like someone yelling "SATAAAAAAAAAN" while throwing cutlery down the stairs.

Looking at previous polls now and they got between 80-90 ballots ,with the relaxation of rules this time I anticipate getting nearer 100. That would mean, along with shortening the roll-out from 125 ,trolls would be wasting their time plus trolls have never been a problem in any ILM 'email' Poll before. Any obvious troll ballots could be easily discounted as on the voting form they have to provide their ilx name.

I still think we should consider removing Green Day.

Not worth the jail time.

Shall we open up extra nominations now? Please don't add hundreds of albums from Rate Your Metal just for the sake of it and instead add albums that have not been mentioned that you would vote for or think are important albums that shouldn't be left out.

Does this count?:

Yamantaka/Sonic Titan - YT/ST

Not familiar with them at all. Will trust your judgement.

I might count that. Did Wo Fat get nominated? What about Greenleaf?

neither have been nominated so please do

Would it be possible for a mod to change the thread title to alert everyone to the fact that nominations end tonight at 11.59pm UK time? Please!

Nile - At the Gate of Sethu

always surprised when i see don broco on lists like this. they're local boys.

Swans - The Seer
Scott Walker - Bish Bosch
Om - Advaitic Songs

I want everything in the StonerHive top 20 nominated

You had better post the top 20 then

Oh and Scott Walker is not being included

was gonna vote but i don't really trust my votes with this "New Management" lurker, i think they should hand the poll back to AG

AG doesn't want to run it. New Management has been gracious enough to take over. Thanks, New Management!

rly think AG should reconsider. we don't know anything about this lurker, whole thing seems v shady

I always wondered what happened to The Management since Carnivàle was prematurely canceled.

I can promise that the results will be whatever ✧ (am0n) wants them to be.

CLOSED

Not really sure what to do now re voting thread since I'm not manually tabulating now. Voting thread will start hopefully tomorrow or sunday but y'all can start making your lists to have them ready. Here is the full nominations list. Will add lists from Revolver/Terrorizer once they come in unless there is objections.

Thank-you to everyone who nominated. You made things really easy.

Voting thread today? My list is almost ready to go...

It'll be up soon.
