~~~ 15 YEARS OF ILM POLL!!! ~~~ (Metal & Heavy Rock [+ related sub-genres] Edition) VOTING & DISCUSSION THREAD. ALL ILXORS WELCOME TO PARTICPATE!! Voting Ends 11.59pm UK Time September 9 2016 .

One thing I am considering is changing my #1 at the last minute

swapping a jute gyte for a jute gyte?

swapping a jute gyte for NOT a jute gyte

*crowd gasps as one*

swapping a jute gyte for NOT a jute gyte

hope this means we share a no. 1

I cant imagine LJ putting Fall Out Boy at #1

It's on my ballot, too recent a discovery to really challenge the upper echelons. Great though yeah

Unless you're talking about the album in my top ten that isn't really metal but is just the best

yeah this is the one i'm talking about lol

the womb
they will feed it us

oh not that one, lol. oh well

Am I reading right that imago thinks Folie à Deux is great?

(Because if so, he's right.)

yeah i was hoping i was reading that correctly too

Wow. Was listening to the first Corrupted track from Se Hace Por Los Suenos Asesinos thinking it was not something I could get into at all, then the second track! All-annihilating brutality...wonderful. I like the super slow, indecipherable vocals a lot too.

I wonder how previous EOY Pollwinners will do

2008 Torche - Meanderthal
2009 Sunn O))) - Monoliths & Dimensions <---- contender for imago's #1?
2010 Electric Wizard - Black Masses
2011 Hammers of Misfortune - 17th Street
2012 Converge - All We Love We Leave Behind
2013 carcass - surgical steel
2014 YOB - Clearing the Path to Ascend
2015 Ghost - Meliora

I wonder how Goat - World Music will fair. I remember it being very popular, esp. with people aren't into very hard stuff.

I imagine a lot of stuff that was flavour of the month with people not lasting, but that Goat album still holds up IMO

I dont think Sunn 0))) or Boris for instance will be as popular as they were but who knows.

Would be strange if none of the EOY poll winners made the top 10 though.

that's what I was thinking cause I added it to my ballot where other stuff I was really hot on for a couple months did not make it.

And honestly, as much as I love Sunn 0))) on in the background I can't begin to know what albums or installments or whatever are the best so I didn't vote for any of their stuff.

I kind of can't imagine any of those albums making the top 10, but then I don't know what people's reactions were like at the time

We uh certainly know what the Ghost reaction was. But maybe it's worn off now

Bagpipes...from Texas...what a delightful opening! (Absu, not Ghost)

Ghost or Ghost B.C.? ;)

If Ghost BC did an album with a 28-minute second track called Hemicyclic Anthelion then I'd probably vote for it on principle

The Japanese Ghost did indeed have bagpipes on a track though

so less than an hour left tho technically speaking you have until seandalai closes the voting form (link at top of the thread)

but since the voting period has been 2 months there is no excuse for not being ready and I would close it bang on time if it were up to me.

Plus if he's ready to do the results I cans tart the rollout before bed

imago and tangenttangent take notice!

Im really interested in how 'comeback' albums do because quite a few 80s and 90s acts came back as good, if not better than before:
esoteric
yob
harvey milk
celtic frost
unsane
swans
carcass

Would expect those to do quite well though , carcass especially should do well.

my ballot is basically ready

tt has insisted on showing me the elder lore title track first tho

it's quite good

its a great album. i think i may have cut it from mine. i cant actually remember what i voted for its so long ago now

just worked out brad's #1! safely in my top 10 as well

the last thing i need tho now is to look at it and decide it needs re-ordered

haha it took you this long to work it out? I havent seen his ballot but knew what he meant

Omg half an hour...but I'm making soup?!

24 mins now!

7 mins!

lol at me showing tt the cynic album with 5 minutes left just in case

if my computer hadn't just lost its mouse faculty almost completely i might have made another change to my ballot, putting it higher. but i didn't. so she will have to make up for it

my list makes no sense but as always I'm looking forward to the rollout; will be here to enjoy the Price Is Right-esque cries of HIGHER and LOWER

(i forgot Thorns, Leviathan, Lykathea Aflame, Inquisition, and albums like Grand Declaration of War; Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice; From Wisdom to Hate; With Hearts Toward None; and Sworn to the Dark)

xp It made it! Lovely emo. Voted!

voted btw! pls confirm

Voting time should have been longer...

tt was the last voter tho technically voting remains open until seandalai closes the form and no idea if that will be tonight or morning or whatever

thanks to all who voted and thanks to seandalai who will tabulate it!

can't wait for th efun part where we see the results! yay!

Thank you Cosmic Slop and seandalai! These are always great fun

I'll let you all know when I get the results.

time to change that username

voting is still open as long as this form is

Good; I've amended my ballot :D

Slop/sean - please confirm you're using my second one! I got rid of a load from my first one then regretted it

oh shit actually I've submitted it a third time. promise this is the final one. i just noticed i'd put one album about 30 or 40 places too high, then changed a couple of other things. now it's all fine. it's good. it's done.
