I'm guessing either all of my votes will be in the top 10 or won't be here at all.

it will be 25-11 today. Will post #25 in about an hour. In the meantime you can tell us which albums you hope will make it today
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Thursday, 8 February 2018 11:02 (six years ago) link
Just looking at muy own ballot, I expect to see Godflesh, King Woman, Couch Slut and Spectral Voice today. Ex Eye and Chelsea Wolfe will be top ten, I'd guess.

excellent noise-rock band with notes of sludge and doom

I would be very happy if Unsane end up in the top 25, but I'm not holding my breath.

The first concert I ever tried to record was Unsane around the release of Total Destruction. To limit the recording volume of the walkman I was using, I tied cotton balls around the microphone. You can imagine what the results sounded like.

Nickelback?
― imago, Thursday, 8 February 2018 12:18 (six years ago) link
Unsane are one of the few legendary bands who have reformed and come back as good as they ever were with each album. Such a great great underappreciated band by most people outwith their 'scene' though

Heard this about 5 hours before voting and instantly made it my #6. It's staggering.

All of it is unbelievably intense, but a special mention to the third track, which destroys everything it touches, and will ensure you can never look at the New English Hymnal the same way again

This was my #1, on paper this is over-the-top gothy hysteria but when it’s executed with an intensity like this I’m all for it.
― Siegbran, Thursday, 8 February 2018 12:39 (six years ago) link

the lingua ignota placement is especially impressive since it was an extremely late ballot addition
Catching up all the way back at Venenum (which is sounding full of ideas and generally great), but excited to see Unsane and Lingua Ignota placing!

listening to unsane now! wow it's off to a good start

I know we're still a few minutes away but I was frankly stunned by the placement of the next album

unsane are still good-to-great btw
Falls of Rauros' chord progressions sound like Coheed and Cambria

Left that one off. Liked it and the songs sounded good live but spent too little time with it last year

they were so much fun live even though there seems to be a significant meathead contingent in their fanbase
― Simon H., Thursday, 8 February 2018 13:30 (six years ago) link
Hmm...it seems I forgot to vote for this. A solidly furious album. I love that the choice of font for the title is like a film subtitle.
― Launch of new ILM school business management programmes! (tangenttangent), Thursday, 8 February 2018 13:32 (six years ago) link
The font is pretty much the only thing I don't like about that cover.
― ArchCarrier, Thursday, 8 February 2018 13:39 (six years ago) link
it makes me think of Lynch, so of course I love it.
― Simon H., Thursday, 8 February 2018 13:40 (six years ago) link
It makes me think of the opening to a 90s dystopian anime, but I can see Lynch too.
― Launch of new ILM school business management programmes! (tangenttangent), Thursday, 8 February 2018 13:42 (six years ago) link
Nightmare Logic works pretty well as an alternate title for Inland Empire.
― Simon H., Thursday, 8 February 2018 13:42 (six years ago) link
Anyway, I hadn't heard the album before but it sounds great. Reminds me of early Sepultura.
― ArchCarrier, Thursday, 8 February 2018 13:44 (six years ago) link
I remember telling a co-worker who's mostly into 90s alt-rock and older mainstream metal that I was going to see a band that night, and she asked me who it was, so I sent her a link to "Executioner's Tax." She said, "it's just that same riff over and over!" and I'm like, "I know! Isn't it great?"
