The album list on this thread is the exact same spelling, formatting, etc. as the spreadsheet, right? So I can copy and paste from that just as easy?
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 25 December 2013 00:04 (ten years ago) link
And we don't include numbers or anything else. Just the artist & title. Is it descending or ascending order? I can't remember from last year.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 25 December 2013 00:05 (ten years ago) link
Put your #1 at the top and work your way down. No numbers.

i didn't nominate it for the poll.

I personally wasn't interested in nominating individual tracks.. I don't know if others feel the same way...
― SeanWayne, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:06 (ten years ago) link
the SubRosa album is just not grabbing me.. I've tried several times to give it a go and its just not doing anything for me. I saw em live and though thought they were great, but on record its ____ ? i don't know.
― SeanWayne, Thursday, 26 December 2013 18:34 (ten years ago) link
I'm a bit puzzled by all the praise too, it's not a bad record in any way and it's pleasant to listen to but there's nothing on it that really stands out.
― Siegbran, Thursday, 26 December 2013 20:15 (ten years ago) link
The lyrics stand out. "Affliction" is the strongest anger I've heard all year.

anger/sadness/confusion, I should say

That Batillus record, Concrete Sustain was my number one. Sludgey, doomy goodness with an industrial edge. Just what the genre needs, I think. Its innovated and doesn't feel stiff like most industrial stuff can get.

For what it's worth, I think the reason that the Sahg has been mostly overlooked is because it doesn't come out in the states until February.

Cool, just what I'm looking for. I've been wanting to hear more blackened post-punk sounds since getting into the Vaura album. Is there much other stuff in this vein out there?

xp Don't see how it matters these days, as the Sahg is available digitally worldwide via Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, GooglePlay, etc. III never even had a U.S. release. What label is putting it out? Hope that means they'll actually tour the U.S.

and its not like the rolling promo crew dont get their promos months earlier anyway

i listened to germ with high expectations, it was wack
― j., Saturday, 4 January 2014 23:04 (ten years ago) link
It matters if the people that make the lists (critics) don't get the album until well into the next year – most writers probably won't be getting it until February unless they're doing a review like I am. And if they don't get the album as a promo, they usually means that they don't realize that it exists. Just kind of how works. Writers often get the album only several weeks ahead of the release date, not months.
Also, J, have you considered that the wackness lies with you and not Germ?
― J3ff T., Sunday, 5 January 2014 00:27 (ten years ago) link
hypothesis considered and REJECTED
― j., Sunday, 5 January 2014 02:02 (ten years ago) link
Not feeling that Germ.. I'm thinking this is gonna be the new trend though. A former drum student of my sent me a link a few months ago doing something similar-he didn't get into the new wave up tempos, but the vibe was very close. One man bands, non performance more than likely, dark, none blast beat black metal, that has a dark wave feel.. I think this will be a little more appealing to a lot of folks as well. It don't do shit for me, but whatevs..

To switch gears to campaigning for a bit, I think more people should be talking about the Obliteration album, "Black Death Horizon". I'm not an expert on metal sub-genres. This seems vaguely death-metal though with a distinct sound of their own, especially the high-pitched yelped vocals which are great. Great raw and loose sound.
― o. nate, Monday, 6 January 2014 21:20 (ten years ago) link

Chucked my virgin ballot into the volcano.
Death Angel is listed as Dark Angel, btw. Being much more a fan of the latter than the former, I went into a momentary google tizzy.
Also, it didn't make my top ten, but if anyone has been displeased with Satyricon since Volcano and wishes to find a suitable taker upper of that sound, Sonic Reign's Monument in Black is a stormer. So good are they that I excuse the borderline plagiarism of that other band's "Fuel for Hatred" and "Possessed" in this tune:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD2sbkLmz4E

Argus - Beyond The Martyrshttp://cruzdelsurmusic.bandcamp.com/album/beyond-the-martyrshttp://youtu.be/KJHCwRYBFrY
― Fastnbulbous, Wednesday, 8 January 2014 18:34 (ten years ago) link
Hailing from the fertile metallic landscapes of Pennsylvania, Argus is releasing their third and best album on the Italian metal label that was founded in 2003, and was once the home of Slough Feg and other like minded bands. Unlike Argus’ first two consistently strong albums, doom is less of a factor on Beyond The Martyrs, emphasizing their twin guitar interplay, and mixing in the epic with the darkness. The band were named from a vision Eric Johnson had of Argus Panoptes, the mythological primordial giant with a hundred eyes. Several bands have taken up that name, but this is the one most worthy of it.

I realize jmm's earlier comment may have been in jest, but I'm so tired of seeing "Deafheaven" and "hipster" in the same sentence. I'm an old-school metal head who's been listening to heavy music for 25 years (nothing hipster about me) -- and I LOVE Deafheaven. Is it just because the singer's handsome? Is it because they seem to have a sense of humor in their personal lives? Or do folks still perhaps equate popularity with lack of integrity/lack of chops? If you don't like them, whatever, but for God's sake let's all stop with the term "hipster."

we got more votes after the brief time it required both in the ballot than before hahaha . Nobody else has mentioned google password plus that was irrelevant as the noms are at the top of this thread.
Probably the fact most people were not back to work this week was why it was slow and plus clearly a lot of ilxors have quit over the years too.

that would mean nearly 40 votes in 3/4 days which is quite remarkable. Thanks ilm!

I told you, dude – people are lazy and wait until the last minute. It's human nature.

usually i start album countdown as soon as i get the results after (vote) closing time. But with this year us trying a tracks poll I dunno whether to do that first or just start albums tonight and start tracks on monday when everyones back to work (it wont be a particularly long rollout.
Also I was going to do it on just the one results thread but seanwayne thinks it would be better on its own thread.
Another thought was leave tracks poll to the last few days of albums rollout and count it down simultaneously with the albums.
so anyone got any thoughts on it?
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:23 (ten years ago) link
j3ff might be right. Maybe polls should just have one week of voting in future. People could cram listening in during extended nominations instead.
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:24 (ten years ago) link
I guess it depends on how many tracks ballots come in and how long that rollout would be, but it seems like a minor feature of the metal poll and could probably kick off the thread that would house both polls' results.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 10 January 2014 19:25 (ten years ago) link
It may be tomorrow before I can get you the results btw.

oh and there will be no 150 200 300 etc albums rollout
ahh ok seandalai np!
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:26 (ten years ago) link
i think tracks rollout would be around the top 25 mark
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:27 (ten years ago) link
I might start with the tracks rollout as jf suggests then whenever i get the results. Just hope noone minds the tracks results being done over the weekend but if noone objects I will do it.

thinking about doing this thing. no one nommed wrekmeister harmonies, what's up with that?
― tench and pike, scaup and snipe (NickB), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:40 (ten years ago) link
go for it. And thanks for the shorter total rollout of tracks.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 10 January 2014 19:40 (ten years ago) link
do it!
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:40 (ten years ago) link
tracks poll was always just a wee bit of fun. Hoped that it might attract non-partisans who might be more willing to check out standout tracks, that might then lead to albums being checked out.
Hopefully those who will follow tracks poll will be able to real time comments on the songs and will then hang around for albums.
plus I love it when in previous polls emil.y and others live-blogged thoughts on songs they didnt know.
Plus it can prove to doubters than metal has songs that do stand out. (also got no idea what the top 25 will be like.)

Still trying to listen through the tracks spotify playlist. I may have to give up and just submit an albums-only ballot, though I have discovered lots of cool stuff on the playlist (Oranssi Pazuzu and Stara Rzeka come to mind).

its not just the NSA who knows who you are!
Anyway late voters can make a huge difference not only voting albums into the countdown, or into the top 10 or changing the order of the top 20buy ALSO decide #1. One year j3ffs last min vote changed the top 3.
so with ONE HOUR LEFT TO GO PLEASE VOTE
