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

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!

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.
