Lol 'Apooogies'. That might be my favorite typo

I expect that you have another 8 or 9 hours as seandalai wont be tabulating til he wakes up in morning
ps never heard of sunwatchers
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 23:02 (seven years ago) link

(thx CS)

false metal usually gets nommed by imago or george so own up
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 23:05 (seven years ago) link
just a reminder (and I think it should only be open to voters but that's up to simon h)
oh btw I reiterate this pledge if anyone feels up for an extra layer of tomfoolery
FYI everyone I will be offering a **special metal mystery prize** to whoever most accurately guesses the top 20

I was surprised to see Sunwatchers here too
I still voted for it (further down) because it rules

Our computer has been on the fritz so tt will need a few more minutes...nearly done!
― imago, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:00 (seven years ago) link
well that midnight UK time but basically you have until seandalai gets up in morning and closes the voting.
If you intend on voting I suggest you mention it here so he can look out for it
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:01 (seven years ago) link
except imago of course ;)
i just voted.
prob should've asked this before sending, but i voted for one thing that wasn't nominated. that's not gonna break your all's system, is it?
― alpine static, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:16 (seven years ago) link
nope, thats ok. Just means it wont make the poll because you forgot to vote for it and no one else will have voted for it
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:23 (seven years ago) link
oh cool, Jute Gyte released another thing a couple of days ago, deffo resubmitting :p
― imago, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:24 (seven years ago) link
YOU HAVE UNTIL SEANDALAI WAKES UP IN THE MORNING TO VOTEHe will post here when voting is closed
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:38 (seven years ago) link
Done! Made it to 50 this year!
― dance band (tangenttangent), Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:39 (seven years ago) link
I assume yours will likely be the last ballot received since nobody else has stated they intend on voting
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:45 (seven years ago) link
It's true, I nominated Sunwatchers
― sushi and the banh mis (Drugs A. Money), Saturday, 17 December 2016 01:37 (seven years ago) link
Resubmitted my ballot! That really will be the last word. Just had to add the new Jute Gyte, then also Ophidian Forest and then bump up Forgotten Spell one place because like omg

I'm re submitting my ballot too
― sushi and the banh mis (Drugs A. Money), Saturday, 17 December 2016 03:33 (seven years ago) link
ok
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 14:48 (seven years ago) link
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
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Saturday, 17 December 2016 16:01 (seven years ago) link
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

Man, where did Moon Tooth come from? They make it look so effortless here.

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
― avant-metal black metal illbient microtonal poetry Surbiton (imago), Saturday, 17 December 2016 16:33 (seven years ago) link
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
