THE 10TH ANNUAL ILM METAL POLL:2017 RESULTS THREAD

are we talking about Peasant or DAMN there haha xxp

Grails are kind of Indian mysticism drone-doom iirc

probably the falsest album that's gonna place. gothy dinner party music. (I like them v much)

Beginning of Dreadnought third track is like some French jazz-pop lol. Can tell things are about to get hea. vy. though

This is a vibe I can very much favour. I would like to host a dinner party and play this. Everyone's invited! It's tonight.

will there be tostones

goat's cheese tostadas

I voted for this but I kind of thought it dropped off after the first few tracks

I didn't even know that came out! jesus...:/

yasss

Q1: Is Grails really post-rock
Q2: Do we not have a post-rock thread (any more) on ilm?

A two-track, sixteen-minute EP on which one of the tracks is kind of dull. But the second track is just so fucking triumphant, I couldn't not vote for it. It's pretty much heavy psych-rock at this point, but some of the coolest and most badass rock music in the world

Wode was one I discovered from the nominations list, nice to see it here.

love how all the guitars get subtracted from the last track on the dreadnought record for a piano solo

yeah I'm listening to that right now! it's really, really nice

oh shit then an a cappella ending

god what a cool album

yeah it takes a lot of subtly unexpected turns. will enjoy returning to it

anyway, hope you're all headbanging to the extended bridge of Värimyrsky

ooh what's THIS? probably tt tried to show me it at some point idk

Yes damnit yes

you guys want simon to take us down to 61 tonight?

Opening melody of the first track reminds me a bit too much of Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive' sadly, but it picks up after that :)

“anomie” is a “condition in which society provides little moral guidance to individuals,” a form of social disorder that was first outlined in the 1897 book “Suicide” by Émile Durkheim. Durkheim and others exhort that anomie represents a schism between the collective goal of a society and the individual’s inability to achieve it, leading to potential deviant behaviour. Anomie can also describe individuals ignored and vilified because they run counter to a society’s groupthink.

progenie terrestre pura record kinda feels like all of the right elements are aligned but i'm unable to engage with it for some reason. should i check out the debut?

also yes

oh man I have some catching up to do in this thread

The song on PTP's debut that's a really long Italian word with 'robot' in the middle is the one, Brad

OK, my last one for tonight before handing over to simon the next ten

He will take the countdown to 61 this evening

glad to see some things I've voted for placing, even if they're TOO LOW!

Anakim was my #1, looks like my half-assed campaigning has won over one person, just enough to place, thank you Brad :)

SO MANY things I've never even heard of so far, meaning lots of things to check out

listening to Dreadnought right now, sounds cool

I was too lazy to cast another ballot, otherwise I would have included Big!Brave

ugh no

I hate to admit it but this grew on me a lot (didn't vote for it tho)

It's a very good album, but I miss Josh writing heavy songs

i think this is their best record but it was not on my ballot for extramusical reasons :\

Voted for it though

maybe it's good but I will never know because I've never liked these guys

boooo

Wouldn't 've minded if this had went the Brand New route, ie not placing bcz Homme's a scumbag

listening to the second track of this. it sounds like Muse! it sounds like recent Muse

Did Foo Fighters put an album out this year, too? I can never remember.

penultimate track is a good T-Rex impression tho

dont think so?

xp

dont think so?

Not a serious question; a joke about the bottomless lameness of Josh Homme.

hard to say this about anyone i don't know personally but his apology seemed heartfelt and i will one day be able to listen to qotsa again, just not yet

last track on this record still has my favorite chorus of 2017
