one thing that concerns me is that there was a maximum ballot of 100, but there are albums with less than 100 points with a first place vote. so how many points does first place get?
― imago, Sunday, 11 September 2016 21:07 (eight years ago) link
Unweighted ballot?
― cookware regression (Dinsdale), Sunday, 11 September 2016 21:08 (eight years ago) link
seandalai would need to answer that
but most likely an unweighted ballot
xp

Which one, Kayo Dot?
Unweighted shouldnt have a #1

Happened with Blut Aus Nord: 95 points but a #1 vote. Are #1 votes on mixed ballots (or ballots with <100 albums) counted for less than #1 votes on unmixed ballots?

I'm sorry I came down so hard, Kerr. It will in fact be that much cooler if any of my fringe-psych or noise nominations crack the Top 200.

^ a very underrated album
Is this Ghost album as infectiously nice as last year's poll-winner?
I'm not as fond of Infestissumam as the other two albums, but it's grown on me some now that it's been followed up by something stronger and it's not under the pressure of being the most recent album. Ghuleh/Zombie Queen and Monstrance Clock are highlights.
― jmm, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:21 (eight years ago) link
Monstrance Clock is easily the best song Ghost ever made but the album isn't as good as the other 2 but its still a good album, just not great like the other 2.
― Cosmic Slop, Sunday, 11 September 2016 22:24 (eight years ago) link
It does lack the meatier sound of Meliora, but the songs are great.

Monstrance Clock starts out like House Of Fun, which the closing track on Meliora does as well :D

These are my favourites of the albums that have placed so far, a bit disappointed about some of them but there we are. But I got into that Morbus Chron album mostly cos of ILM hype at the time so that is a little bit surprising I suppose. I though Paracletus was more well-loved too.
