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.

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.

To whom it may concern:
Don't forget to vote, yo.
― romanesque architect (pomenitul), Friday, 21 February 2020 13:00 (four years ago) link

doing some last-minute relistening but planning to submit a ballot today
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 February 2020 16:03 (four years ago) link
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.
― Frobisher, Friday, 21 February 2020 18:10 (four years ago) link
Submitted my ballot of 50. I hadn't heard of 10,000 Russos before this morning and it almost made my ballot. I might regret that. I left off a few favorites that might qualify as heavy rock, but I just couldn't and I might regret that, too. Toward the bottom was a bunch of indistinct death and black metal that I enjoyed throughout the year, but wouldn't be able to identify if heard in a bar.
Looking forward to seeing the results.
― beard papa, Friday, 21 February 2020 19:20 (four years ago) link
i prob should've campaigned too. this immortal bird record is even better than i fucking remembered
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 February 2020 19:24 (four years ago) link
That one made the upper part of my list. Another one I really loved that I didn't see get a lot of mention here was the Vanum album. It slipped by my notice for a while I think due to being too close to Vastum and Venom Prison.
― beard papa, Friday, 21 February 2020 19:29 (four years ago) link
if people are still to vote then there's still time to campaign as people may give it a listen before voting.
Polling will be open til seandalai closes the voting form which I assume will be in the morning.
― Oor Neechy, Friday, 21 February 2020 19:32 (four years ago) link
And anyone can resubmit a ballot (just make sure you post here saying you have)
― Oor Neechy, Friday, 21 February 2020 19:33 (four years ago) link

One of these made my ballot....

Where were Immortal Bird during our bird game marathon the other day? Haha. This is sounding lovely excellent mad.
― tangenttangent, Friday, 21 February 2020 19:38 (four years ago) link
I love them so.
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Friday, 21 February 2020 19:42 (four years ago) link
vote 4 a sanity deranged by nightfell
thanks
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 21 February 2020 19:49 (four years ago) link
I hope everyone who votes will post on the rollout thread but also those who didn't vote who might hear some cool new music or just want to chat on the thread. That's where the fun should be.
― Oor Neechy, Friday, 21 February 2020 19:52 (four years ago) link
Only one mention of Warforged on ILX, which was BlackIronPrison's nomination? Oh wow, you've all got to hear it. Absolutely off the walls blackened death, but prog.
― tangenttangent, Friday, 21 February 2020 19:54 (four years ago) link
I'll try to post on the rollout thread, but what usually happens is by the time I catch up to it others have said what I was doing to say better than I would've.
― beard papa, Friday, 21 February 2020 20:00 (four years ago) link
a few reminders for anyone still making a ballot:
XOTH: insanely fun sci-fi death metal with a perfect balance of goofiness and serious chopsHAUNTER: kitchen sink black-death-whatever with a ton of incredible ornamental flourishesWEEPING SORES: Stunning violin-aided techy death-doom ft Doug Moore of PyrrhonWORMED: the best grindcore(?) band on the planetNO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE DEAD THINK: the best grindcore band on the planetFALLS OF RAUROS: Of all the bands doing the "wintry sweeping melodic BM you would listen to on a trek through the woods" thing, FOR do it best
