but how can an album imago only found about after he had his ballot have been heard enough to really call it one of the albums of the year?
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 14:49 (seven years ago) link
I assume as seandalai hasnt posted yet there's still time to vote if you havent already
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 14:55 (seven years ago) link
I'm a big doom fan, but this was the year that Sludge metal records totally kicked Doom Metal's ass composition-wise.
Like Slabdragger? Damn. I saw it in the Terrorizer list and realized I forgot it. I wish more people would have talked up some of their faves per Kerr's request.

Yes to #22 toohttps://bosskeloid.bandcamp.com/album/herb-your-enthusiasm
― Fastnbulbous, Saturday, 17 December 2016 15:39 (seven years ago) link
OK, trying the Oathbreaker album because it's high up and somehow passed me by - probably going to stop it soon since it's literally a Deafheaven clone that just so happens to have a female vocalist (and not a very good one either...)

oh whoops i forgot to vote for katatonia

you have time to resubmit i guess as ive not heard from seandalai
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 15:59 (seven years ago) link
eh it's ok

I'll vote if you can extend the deadline an hour
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 17 December 2016 16:03 (seven years ago) link
i imagine that's fine. If seandalai appears I know he will wait as you let him know
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 16:03 (seven years ago) link
So anyone else wants to vote just post here so we know. I assume seandalai is at work so Id imagine you have a good few hours to vote so just let us know. The more the merrier

I voted, but no Boris/Merzbow and no Wolvserpent was stupid
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 17 December 2016 16:16 (seven years ago) link
Would have voted for Dalek too
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 17 December 2016 16:22 (seven years ago) link
yeah well they were disallowed by horrid metal elitists

That's dumb, plenty of records that made the list (including at least one I voted for) are only metal-adjacent at best.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Saturday, 17 December 2016 16:37 (seven years ago) link
Guess I will throw those albums on the list
― sushi and the banh mis (Drugs A. Money), Saturday, 17 December 2016 16:40 (seven years ago) link
Oh wait that Boris/Merzbow is the mini-Zaireeka double-disc-simultanepus concept album, isn't it? Maybe not, after all
― sushi and the banh mis (Drugs A. Money), Saturday, 17 December 2016 16:46 (seven years ago) link
wait ... i missed the process, sorry. how was Dalek disallowed but Sunwatchers and Horse Lords are on the list?
― alpine static, Saturday, 17 December 2016 17:27 (seven years ago) link
might vote again with a Dälek write-in
― avant-metal black metal illbient microtonal poetry Surbiton (imago), Saturday, 17 December 2016 17:32 (seven years ago) link
disallowing albums is stupid imo
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Saturday, 17 December 2016 17:34 (seven years ago) link
lol I just noticed the Tanya Tagaq album I put forward (and got at least one cosign for) was disallowed too, or at least not nommed
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Saturday, 17 December 2016 17:40 (seven years ago) link
i am far from some sort of metal purist, but i actually think it's kinda dumb to have Sunwatchers and Horse Lords in a metal poll (no offense to the nominators // i love both those albums) BUT i don't know how you'd ever draw a line, so ... plus you can argue it's a poll of "metal thread's faves" vs. "best metal albums"
this is the first i've heard of something being disallowed. maybe imago was joking?
― alpine static, Saturday, 17 December 2016 17:41 (seven years ago) link
or maybe some nominations get missed. which i would understand! i mean, i don't know how the poll-runners do it ... i certainly wouldn't have the time to do it well.
― alpine static, Saturday, 17 December 2016 17:43 (seven years ago) link
I hate to be a pedant but iirc it has always been the metal *and* heavy/hard rock poll. "heavy" is a broad term.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Saturday, 17 December 2016 17:44 (seven years ago) link
like...why not?
lol CS openly disallowed it citing that it was hip-hop not metal. and sure MC Dälek himself would probably claim to just be hip-hop, but there's definitely a grey area. idk
― illbient microtonal poetry Surbiton (imago), Saturday, 17 December 2016 17:48 (seven years ago) link
xxpost: yeah, no, totally ... i get it. i actually don't care at all ... it's an ilm poll, after all ... maybe i meant the word "funny" in place of "dumb" or something.
Sunwatchers is heavy!
― alpine static, Saturday, 17 December 2016 17:48 (seven years ago) link
hoo boy I missed that xp
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Saturday, 17 December 2016 17:50 (seven years ago) link
my threat to resubmit is basically a ploy to get seandalai out of his deep slumber, but fyi I have now primed a new ballot with Dälek in it so he'd best be quick
― illbient microtonal poetry Surbiton (imago), Saturday, 17 December 2016 18:02 (seven years ago) link
Aw, I really Oathbreaker. I've been convincing myself they don't sound like Deafheaven, but maybe they do and having a female vocalist was all it needed for me to like it. Fickle.
― dance band (tangenttangent), Saturday, 17 December 2016 18:10 (seven years ago) link
*really like...
how dare anyone like a band with a female singer!
I am now going to have a listen to that album after dinner
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 18:12 (seven years ago) link
They really aren't very similar to Deafheaven at all (I say this as a person who likes Deafheaven)
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Saturday, 17 December 2016 18:13 (seven years ago) link
I'm guessing Horse Lords made it in because CS hadn't heard them? (I still voted for them since it was my favourite album on the list. I would have voted for Tagaq too, if she were included, but I might not have included either of them if I were to make a list of metal albums myself.) I'm fine with him deciding the boundaries for his poll, and I think it's fair to have some kind of boundaries for a genre poll.
― My Body's Made of Crushed Little Evening Stars (Sund4r), Saturday, 17 December 2016 18:18 (seven years ago) link
Disallowing records is dumb as shit, but if you don't like it start your own poll imo
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 17 December 2016 18:19 (seven years ago) link
Tagaq is iffy. I was partly seconding it in the "Hell yeah this non-metal thing is metal as fuck" sense, but "Aorta" and parts of "Retribution" certainly qualify.
― jmm, Saturday, 17 December 2016 18:24 (seven years ago) link
Tagaq would have been in my top 5 sheerly in terms of 'favourite eligible albums' but imo we should just fight like fuck to get her into the main 77
― illbient microtonal poetry Surbiton (imago), Saturday, 17 December 2016 18:26 (seven years ago) link
It's pretty hard to get stuff into the 77 now. That poll gets 150 ballots or something and the days of getting something into the poll with 3 votes are gone.
And i think johnny fever says expanding to 100 wont make a difference as that kind of thing still struggles to get in and the 78-100 is just similar music to what gets in the 77.
plus voting blocs is cheating, right?
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 18:36 (seven years ago) link
Seandalai is home and he says votings closed now
I'll start the roll out once i get the results
