It's alright, I just added it.

I wish the old regulars who drifted away from metal would not only come back and vote but post on the threads too.The early days of the poll were really lively.

I'm here to watch. My metal listening has slowed to a total, er, dribble and I have nothing to contribute.

A late recommendation but I just discovered it in bouncing around listening to things, Chevelier - Destiny Calls is really good, or at least really interesting. It's I guess ostensibly some kind of nwobhm-revival sort of stuff, but it's very sparse and weird, and has female-fronted vocals that really do sound like some high priestess shouting incantations. I'm having trouble pinning it down, but it's not run of the mill its very strange and wonderful to me. Worth checking out!

I could reeeeally do with a mixed ballot btw. Next year...
― imago, Wednesday, 19 February 2020 21:44 (four years ago) link
I have submitted my ballot! Been following the results of these since like 2008, but never voted in one before.

Imprecation - Damnatio Ad Bestias has definitely moved up for me these last few weeks - would probably be in top 20/30 now.

Currently going back through all the albums I wishlisted on Bandcamp this year. Yikes, lots to listen to.

Please vote so we can have a good rollout.
― Oor Neechy, Thursday, 20 February 2020 12:59 (four years ago) link
the bigger the ballots the better
― Oor Neechy, Thursday, 20 February 2020 13:00 (four years ago) link
I feel attacked that these calls for extensive ballots began in earnest immediately after I submitted my um, rigorously curated effort.
― Noel Emits, Thursday, 20 February 2020 13:38 (four years ago) link
I think I should be able to get up to 25.
― o. nate, Thursday, 20 February 2020 16:06 (four years ago) link

Last year we only got 33 ballots so lets see if we can smash that. We got over 70 one year I think way back.
― Oor Neechy, Friday, 21 February 2020 02:16 (four years ago) link
I'll be sending mine in a few hours!
― Frobisher, Friday, 21 February 2020 02:55 (four years ago) link
OK I voted, got myself to 40 on the ballot!
― Frobisher, Friday, 21 February 2020 06:06 (four years ago) link
Listening to Caligula rn...it's something else, though I def see why ILX loves it so much. Speaking for myself, personally, I think this is basically this year's Haino/Sumac: a ferocious forbidding avant album whose raw fury is undeniable but is also a little too *Serious Art* for me to know exactly what to do with
― are you a fan of i.die music (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 21 February 2020 06:12 (four years ago) link
I plan to vote from work tomorrow. I have a mixed ballot so just need to confirm the order.
― beard papa, Friday, 21 February 2020 06:37 (four years ago) link
or just ranked with no care given to the last 20 entries..
― beard papa, Friday, 21 February 2020 06:38 (four years ago) link
That's totally fine, you don't need to overthink it. Much of my bottom 20 is more or less interchangeable.

Don't forget to vote, yo.

doing some last-minute relistening but planning to submit a ballot today

Sweet!
― romanesque architect (pomenitul), Friday, 21 February 2020 16:05 (four years ago) link
ayyyy
ballot ordered! sending momentarily. a culling most brutal.
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Friday, 21 February 2020 16:08 (four years ago) link
when does the rollout begins? looking forward. are you doin' top 100 as usual?
― gaudio, Friday, 21 February 2020 16:10 (four years ago) link
Top 100, yeah. Was thinking 20 per day, from Monday to Friday.
― romanesque architect (pomenitul), Friday, 21 February 2020 16:11 (four years ago) link
TOO LOW!!!! -> i'm ready!
― gaudio, Friday, 21 February 2020 16:13 (four years ago) link
I should add that we will need to have enough votes to make a top 100. If we don't then it will have to be a shorter rollout.
― Oor Neechy, Friday, 21 February 2020 16:14 (four years ago) link
Sent a short unweighted ballot
― Brad C., Friday, 21 February 2020 16:15 (four years ago) link
so fingers crossed and get those 50 vote ballots in to make sure!
xp
― Oor Neechy, Friday, 21 February 2020 16:15 (four years ago) link
i think i failed you Oor. yeah, i could have put a 50 vote ballot together. didn't feel right, sorry. 30 vote ballot, but love'em all
― gaudio, Friday, 21 February 2020 16:18 (four years ago) link
thanks for voting!
― Oor Neechy, Friday, 21 February 2020 16:44 (four years ago) link
I'm annoyed with myself for not doing better campaigning! Putting my ballot in order now and hoping that enough people loved the Jambinai album - Korean psych intensity with dynamic and always interesting post-metal progressions.
― tangenttangent, Friday, 21 February 2020 17:55 (four years ago) link
Me too! Hope everyone voted for Black Mountain and Neptune Power Federation and Rainbow Grave.
