Ok, thanks. I could look it up, I realize, but if the purpose of results threads is to get people to listen to stuff they wouldn't have heard otherwise, a few identifying characteristics might help someone decide to listen (or not listen) to something that rated on the poll. Powerviolence sums it up, ty.

Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, ZEBULON PIKE is an instrumental prog-doom metal band formed in late 2002. Inspired in equal parts by heavy sounds of the 70’s (Mountain, Pentagram, Captain Beyond, early Judas Priest), progressive rock (King Crimson, Rush), and 20th century classical (Bela Bartok, Arvo Part, and many others).

Within Temptation is a shite Dutch symphonic metal band formed in 1996 in Waddinxveen, Netherlands. The group consists of Sharon den Adel (vocals), Robert Westerholt (guitars), Jeroen van Veen (bass), Martijn Spierenburg (keyboards), Ruud Adrianus Jolie (guitars) and Mike Coolen (drums). Despite being labeled by the media as a gothic metal band, Within Temptation consider themselves “more a symphonic rock/metal band … we are… no gothic band”.

i voted for them, but they're not very good. i played them once for my mom and she was like, "i like this. they sound like evanescence," then after a song or two played she asked, "they're kinda generic aren't they?"

Fans of the band at #126 (inc you lol) are going to be ever so mad at you, they missed out by 4 points. you gave Within Temptation 30 points!
― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Monday, 16 January 2012 02:43 (twelve years ago) link
30 seems like a lot. is that true? i just listed my 21 picks in order of best to worst. i'm shocked that the worst still got 30 points.

Within Temptation, weird. I've never heard of them. The cover is hilarious. It looks like a young adult mystery, like a slutty Nancy Drew/Trixie Belden and the case of the creepy tweeners who practice occult sacrifices in the woods. Is this band's demographic kids who were too young to read when the first Harry Potter came out?
― Fastnbulbous, Monday, 16 January 2012 05:09 (twelve years ago) link
Okay, based on the small sample size of 3+ tracks of each of these
Disliked - Within Temptation, AzarethOkay, but wouldn't check again - Zebulon PikeLiked, but blimey the tracks are long - Peste NoireLiked, will listen to again - Weekend Nachos, Grails
Looking frwd to the rest of the countdown

Grails are the first of my votes to place. Totally false metal!
― good luck in your pyramid (Neil S), Monday, 16 January 2012 10:44 (twelve years ago) link
I'm not sure why, because they seem totally my thing, but I'm just not into Weekend Nachos. And yet I have had two picks place already (Peste Noir and Grails).
I predict Uncle Acid will do a lot less well than people think it will - I love the album but really fought as to whether I should vote for it (I did in the end) because it's not really a metal record, it's completely freakbeat. If I'd been more involved in the nominations thread I might have been tempted to veto it. I also predict my #1 will not be higher than #20.

FnB All good choices! My Catalfaque cd came but as i had never heard of them until the votes came in for them i have no idea about their older stuff, i think Glenn says its good but Siegbran says they never used to be but hadnt heard the last few before this one(which he liked)
so fuck knows. I dont even have them on mp3.

Hey Kerr what albums from the countdown do you think will show up this week? I def think Yob and Uncle Acid have good shots...
― non, je ned raggette rien (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 30 January 2012 14:55 (twelve years ago) link
uncle acid and maybe mastodon. those 2 have non-metal crossover potential i think.(did many metal thread regs vote? im guessing not enough) Dont think yob made it last time.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Monday, 30 January 2012 16:15 (twelve years ago) link

Their #21 had only 17 votes. Looks like there weren't as many participants as on the metal poll. We could have totally taken over that poll. So much power wasted. Instead of Graveyard, YOB and Devil's Blood it'll be Adele, Pistol Annies and fucking Bon Iver. Perhaps Uncle Acid has a chance.

― Gamera died for our sins (J3ff T.), Thursday, 2 February 2012 07:24 (twelve years ago) link
the big poll got 120+ votes. Way more than us . Im guessing the top 10 albums will be getting a shitload with the 21-77 not so much,but i told you lot all to vote. but metal ilxors just dont like to vote. just lurkers (who arent allowed in big poll afaik)
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 2 February 2012 10:26 (twelve years ago) link
i dont think hammers of misfortune will place now. Bit weird our #1 didn't make it tbh. Though it seems the metal that did make it was stuff that crossed over to non metal regs. They didn't vote in our poll (5 ppl judging by the comments on the thread)but voted for liturgy,wittr,mastodon. If everyone pulled together we could've got a dozen albums in easy. We obviously could never agree enough on anything to get a top 10.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 2 February 2012 11:57 (twelve years ago) link
We could have totally taken over that poll. So much power wasted.I did my part, but I did fail to nominate Bruce Lamont, which was stupid. He didn't exactly take over the metal poll though, so who am I kidding?!
For some reason I flipped out talking about the manifesto when really I should have been busy plotting for next year. If Bon Iver wins or is even in the top 3 I will lose a little bit of faith in the people of ILM. Not much, but a little.
― La Lechera, Thursday, 2 February 2012 14:35 (twelve years ago) link
Well we're on the topic, Thanks for playing that Lamont last night. I don't enjoy Yakuza so I ignored his solo record, obviously to my detriment.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 2 February 2012 14:38 (twelve years ago) link
I have to warn you -- there is some singing that you might hate, and it's in the first song, which is interminable. If you can make it past the first 3 min of that without turning it off, it's pretty good the rest of the way.

Lol u guys! :) Kerr is otm in that most of the metal ranks is filled out by the hidden army of lurkers (I know you're out there, Magnus B!) who may or may not be allowed to vote in the big poll.
Also I voted for Pistol Annies; that was a really good record. It might sound like Dolly Parton's Greatest Hits but its soul lies somewhere between Cut and Nebraska...
― Drugs A. Money, Thursday, 2 February 2012 14:54 (twelve years ago) link
oh yea also: I'm a bit skeptical that Bon Iver or Adele are going to show up today. I mean, anything's possible--and I don't remember if the #1 P4k album of the year has never not shown up--but I think Tuneyards and Yuck will probably be the worst of it. Adele had probably the biggest song of the year and she couldn't manage to make the tracks poll at all, so I wouldn't worry...

― Drugs A. Money, Thursday, 2 February 2012 15:07 (twelve years ago) link
iirc it was really glossy. Not to my liking, and that impression made me not like the song because...I am a feeble minded monkey?
― La Lechera, Thursday, 2 February 2012 15:11 (twelve years ago) link
It's old-timey instrumentation with a bright. unnatural sheen (to my ears, at least). That's what I meant by production; I would bet they would be much more my thing live where the mix and mastering wouldn't have that gloss.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 2 February 2012 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
xpost, obv!
I think La Lechera and I both were bothered by the same thing
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 2 February 2012 15:13 (twelve years ago) link
but we should probably take the conversation elsewhere and leave this for metal
well I spent most of my year being forced to listen to country music radio, so the productions sounds really understated to me.
Like I'm listening to "Beige" right now, and it still sounds to me like a dolled up version of one of the slower cuts on American Beauty
I mean, this is all subjective opinion--I mean, I never expected it to not have pop sheen, so I wasn't disappointed...
