ILM Metal/other 'metal' subgenres 2010 POLL NOMINATIONS THREAD CLOSES Saturday 19 December - All are welcome.

Everyone has the right to veto. Nominate all you want that you think fits the parameters. If something doesn't, JJ & I can veto it or you can ask for it to be vetoed too (just like previous polls). Henry has no veto... (ask jj why)

Should an album be left off nominations, you can ask on this or the voting thread if you can include it on your ballot. As long as it meets the parameters , it will be ok.

Shall start the noms off with the albums from Decibel & Rock-A-Rolla's lists. Feel free to veto anything not suitable (will remove the Emeralds/OPN stuff obv)

p.s. Do we allow Swans? (I love swans and think the albums great) But there runs the risk of non metalheads voting swans #1 just because that's the big ILM band they're all familiar with, and i don't want to deal with all the "they're not metal" bullshit in the countdown if they win. The same reason sonic youth etc are never allowed.
But it's up to you guys.

Swans are top 5 for me, if that makes any difference.

Anyway:

Cathedral - The Guessing Game
Murmuure - Murmuure

Swans was never metal. As much as I love the album.

Swans would be allowable if it was 1986, at least to my ear. What they're doing now may well be glorious, but metal it ain't.

Nominate:

Bison B.C. - Dark Ages
Zoroaster - Matador
Sweet Cobra - Mercy
The Sword - Warp Riders
Exodus - Exhibit B: The Human Condition
1349 - Demonoir
Lair of the Minotaur - Evil Power

It does run the risk of the corny indie fuxor vote.
xp

I'm guessing that High Confessions record doesn't count?

was that the album the sonic youth guys made with some others?

as much as I love Swans and like that album, I kinda think I'm inclined to agree with adrien & phil on the veto.

Yeah, with Chris Connelly and Sanford Parker.

Not heard it yet actually so i cant comment on it at all.

Got to veto the Mike Patton - it's Italian pop songs.

Not sure I'll vote for these, but should also nominate:

Danzig - Deth Red Sabaoth
The Ocean - Heliocentric
Ov Hell - The Underworld Regime

no compilations! (sorry nate)

Why?

nominating Death Angel - Relentless Retribution

As much as I love the High Confessions record - it's more industrial/avant garde than metal ...

We've never allowed comps in the metal poll.

As much as I love the High Confessions record - it's more industrial/avant garde than metal ...

Yeah, I agree, which is why I assumed it wouldn't count.

We've never allowed comps in the metal poll.

That is not an explanation. Why? What's the problem - I understand not allowing hits compilations, but why not various artists?

Exodus – Exhibit B: The Human Condition
Tarja Turunen - What Lies Beneath

Maserati - Pyramid of the Sun

Swans would be allowable if it was 1986, at least to my ear.

Hehe, 16 year old me would have been absolutely indignant about Swans being metal.

Slough Feg - Animal Spirits

I already had the slough feg on my spreadsheet jeff hehe. btw every vote for slough feg pisses off bill magill. so please remember that when you vote for them! :)

Maserati - Pyramid of the Sun

I love this album, but this is so not metal.

feel like it would be pretty lame if people nominated a bunch of label samplers or something... what V/A comps did people want to actualy rep for?

we've had Zombi in years past.

Yeah, but just because the dude from Zombi plays on it doesn't make it metal.

I guess with Swans vetoed I cant allow it then.

Double Negative - Daydreamnation
Furze - Reaper Subconscious Guide
Humanfly - Darker Later
Krieg - The Isolationist

i don't really think swans should be veto'd, it's not metal but it IS heavy and it IS rock -- and the thread says "Metal/Heavy Rock"

they were vetoed

so-- is this also a Heavy Rock poll, or not?

if Swans are not heavy rock, i'm not really sure what is... and if heavy rock isn't included, i'd suggest you get a mod to remove it from the thread title

and if heavy rock isn't included, i'd suggest you get a mod to remove it me from the thread title

― i genuinely thought when i first joined that he was the admin (ilxor),

remember a mod is co running this!

didn't answer my question... heavy rock included, yes/no?

So glad this is off to a trouble-free start!

confusion in the poll title/description doesn't help :/

is it heavy rock? if yes, swans!

not really trying to cause trouble, but what's the point calling it a metal/heavy rock poll if we're gonna veto 2010's heaviest rock record?

on the other hand-- if it's a heavy rock poll and we're vetoing swans because we're afraid some vampire weekend fan might bother to click on the metal poll thread, then submit a ballot with swans at #1, then this is just stupid

Again, I kind of feel myself with ilxor here.

But there runs the risk of non metalheads voting swans #1 just because that's the big ILM band they're all familiar with

exactly the attitude i'm referring to ^^

come on guys

Vote for anything your candy ass thinks is "heavy." I just said they're not metal.

i'd like to veto that nachtmystium album because it was reviewed well on pitchfork and also written about on stereogum and a lot of indie/"hipster" kids read stereogum. no fucking way is some false-metal stereogum reader gonna mess up MY poll results because THEY happen to like nachtmystium!!

okay really though i'm going home, no more time for this

can we resolve this 4real?

I want to agree with you again, you know. Swans played at Supersonic this year and and Roadburn next year. An argument could be made that says they're as metal as it gets.

xp to the troll

swans are vetoed. get over it and stfu.

Boris/Torche - Chapter Ahead Being Fake
Cave - Pure Moods
Jesu - Heart Ache & Dethroned
Nadja - Under the Jaguar Sun
Pale Sketcher - Jesu: Pale Sketches Demixed
Yellow Swans - Going Places

swans are vetoed. get over it and stfu.

cool, dont forget i veto'd nachtmystium too -- they are covered in indie-rock publications, and might get too much of the "lurker vote" and accidentally win our poll :(

same applies to torche, high on fire, kylesa, electric wizard & more btw

oh noes

wth kind of nominations process allows vetoes anyway?

btw, did someone besides you veto my other nominations, or are you just being an ass?

xp to herman obv.

Metal is like porn: you know it when you can jack off to it

boris/torche would they not be better in a tracks poll? thats a 7" right?

I mean, if it wasn't released in 2010, sure. But if it's as subjective as Swans are/aren't heavy rock and/or metal, that's ridiculous. It's not like anyone is coming in here nominating Rihanna.

adrien & phil did. jeff & viceroy agree

Drudkh - Handful of Stars

I veto the Swans album it would win #1 for no other reason than lurkers and you know it.

we can have a special award for best Swans album.

was about to say Drudkh!

yeah you're right, boris/torche was a split 7"

Cave - Pure Moods

In what universe is this metal?

if people dont stop moaning jj & I will just remove the heavy rock bit and only allow bands who are listed at http://www.metal-archives.com
so quit moan and get nominating. Minds will not be changed.

I am totally ok with a tracks poll being a bit more loose with the term.
Who else apart from viceroy wants one?

I veto the Swans album it would win #1 for no other reason than lurkers and you know it.

"i veto the year's obviously best metal/heavy rock album because it would be sooo boring if the year's best album actually won a poll it qualifies for."

and hey, if a lurker can put together a coherent ballot with 14+ other albums, plus swans, then they can vote! why not?

well it's not the best, its not that fantastic at all.

then why would it win #1 in the poll? you think a bunch of ilx lurkers care enough about repping for swans in this poll that they'll flood ballots in?

i love cave but it aint going in. I think I'll take out wildildlife too, i ordered that record but i dont think it belongs here.

so as it stands list looks like

Any complaints about albums please say so, as obviously I am not familiar with all of them.

incase you missed this

if people dont stop moaning jj & I will just remove the heavy rock bit and only allow bands who are listed at http://www.metal-archives.com
so quit moan and get nominating. Minds will not be changed.

Henry is adamant it doesn't qualify. You dont want him to get angry do you?

I have a problem with the "heavy rock" designation for stuff like this. I mean, it's just there so we can include stoner rock and stuff like that, not things that aren't metal but are rock and heavy in a non-metal way.

I'm vetoing Killing Joke, simply because I don't want that wonderful album sullied by this ego-driven clusterfuck of a poll.

okay okay. can we change the poll title, then?

ILM Metal/Heavy Rock & other 'metal' subgenres 2010 POLL NOMINATIONS THREAD CLOSES 31/12 - All are welcome, as long as you vote for albums that we arbitrarily approve them. Oh, and don't worry, one of the year's best albums won't win because we've eliminated it from nominations before we even vote! ISN'T THIS FUN YOU GUYS

lol @ vetoing killing joke

So the Jeff Beck album probably doesn't count either, huh?

jeff otm

i'd like to disqualify all the albums i don't personally enjoy from this poll before voting begins, so people can only vote for albums i like. i'll post the list of approved albums after i decide which of my favorites i'd like people to rank in their ballots. brb

lol yes!

Herman, you know I love you. You're a great part of the ILM family, but you doom your own polls time and time again by being so exclusionary and, in turn, making people angry before voting even begins. I expect the countdown will be epic, though, so I'll tune in.

Wilildlife is as heavy as Torche is nowadays.

I don't get why we've included Jesu or Sunn o)))))))))))) or Om in years past but not Swans this year. None of them is approaching heaviness from a metal viewpoint, no matter what they say or what actual metal stuff various players in those bands have done or continue to do.

hey FOUR OTHER GUYS vetoed it, ok?

And way more than four want it eligible.

i bet i can find four guys who agree it should be in & would vote for it

lol xp

Karma to Burn - Appalachian Incantation
Sahara Surfers - Spacetrip on a Paper Plane
Dead Meadow - Three Kings
Hansel - Never Say Die
Stone Sour - Audio Secrecy
Across Tundras - Old World Wanderer

And Killing Joke aren't metal either. Even if Phil puts them on a year end metal list.

wait a min. stone sour??? are you markers?

Skullflower should totally be on there btw -- shit is waaaayyyy heavier than Sunn O))) even

It shouldn't be shocking that a metal/"heavy rock" poll is exclusionary. That's the point. Taylor Swift and Flying Lotus are also excluded, along with lots of other stuff. It'll be more fun if you just quit bitching and let it go.

I've not heard the newest skullflower so i will include them for now.

lol @ having stone sour nominated, but excluding several of the year's great albums

ez you want the wildildlife put back up then?

I'm not shocked, but I think it's hilarious that people can draw this imaginary line somewhere that's not exactly static. Like I said upthread, it's not like anyone's coming in here nominating Rihanna.

I don't have a problem with wildildlife. And if people have a problem with Killing Joke, we can take them off.

anyway i'll come back when i've cooled down a bit. this is ridiculous, we should've let the poll be run either without a nominations list, or without a couple arrogant vetoes spoiling a good number of voters' ballots in advance.

never had such a strict nominations process in 2008/09 btw! i think several of you are getting crankier w/ age

some of those noms were not-so-subtle digs, obv.

btw i'd like to nominate

Rihanna - Loud

k thx

i <3 u, ilxor

ez you want the wildildlife put back up then?

Probably not going to vote for and I doubt anyone else would. Just had it on my list of heavy stuff I liked this year.

There's nothing "arrogant" about my veto -- Swans are postpunk. Punk is not metal(or what is meant by heavy rock here), and postpunk isn't metal, even if there is metal crossover with both, and even if there is some heaviness involved.

Swans were postpunk in 1985, when being postpunk was still a concern. In 2010, they're Swans. No qualification necessary.

everything in this poll is post-punk -- punk happened in the '70s, this is 2010

Okay, if someone is going to nominate the Ozzy album, I'm going to one up it and nominate a far better album by a rock survivor:

Rob Zombie - Hellbilly Deluxe 2

Then we can have a Swans year-end poll and they will win.

zzzzzzzz

Zombi was nominated last year

and look at the complaints it got (and marnie stern the year before)

More stuff that should be DQ'd (Even if I nominated it) according to the nebulous criteria of the day:

Across Tundras - Old World Wanderer - sorry, Crazy Horse isn't metal
Boris & Ian Astbury - BXI - ha ha ha you kid, right?
Celestiial - Where Life Springs Eternal - a rough night in the woods isn't heavy, dude.
Danzig - Deth Red Sabaoth - cat litter is not credible
Killing Joke - Absolute Dissent - Goth
Ratt - Infestation - glam
Torche - Songs for Singles - I like Helmet too, but no
U.S. Christmas/Minsk/Harvestman - Hawkwind Triad - Various Artists, automatic disqualification
Wino - Adrift - Wino is metal, this is not
Wolf People - Steeple - Wolf in the name - automatic veto
Yakuza - Of Seismic Consequence - jazz-skronk

Zombi wasn't just nominated, it placed pretty damn high. Marnie didn't place, did it?

Wolf in the name - automatic veto

I guess I should be thankful Wolves in the Throne Room didn't have an album this out this year.

There goes my Wolf Parade dream

. Marnie didn't place, did it?

it did

This is ILM. If you want to administer a purist sort of poll, take it elsewhere. No malice intended, but that's just the way it be. Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" was just voted the #3 song of the century here. You think that would happen anywhere else? Unlikely. It's kind of why I love this place.

Marnie Stern - 41 in 2008. Zombi - 12 in 2009. Swans - DQ'd in 2010.

and so is marnies 2010 album

i assume noone wants a tracks poll?

if i ever needed one shining example of why i don't like being on poll threads, now i've got one. i have actual children who fight about stupid shit. i come here to relax.

and i like all you guys. you know, for the most part.

try and have some fun, people! you might like it.

you think this is bad scott, go look at the car crash of the alltime poll.

For the record, the year-end poll J0rdan and I will be running very soon will only have two qualifications. The songs/albums you nominate will have to have been released someplace in the world for the first time in 2010, but no longer than a year or two ago anywhere else in the world. Also, songs/albums leaked ahead of a 2011 release are ineligible.

That's it. Simple and easy. No fuss, no muss.

and a non-specialist poll.

True, but why don't you give the people who actually wish to participate in your genre poll some credit? Vetoing nominations arbitrarily is about the most "fuck you people" thing I can think of (at least in the realm of online polling).

As Jeff already stated the metal poll started because lots of album that were really good were not getting into the big poll due to the fact that it was a big general poll. Nothing against that,they're great polls, but this poll was to cover niche stuff. Yes some things cross over but as much as i love metal mags like terrorizer covering swans, it doesn't feel right them being in this poll. It's not just me but others too. Including several people who love Swans. We all know the Swans album will place high in the poll you're doing (i assume musically has decided not to do it this year?).

Than axe Joke too. They're even more post-punk than Swans.

Than=then. Rarely screw it up that way round.

ugh sorry that's supposed to be:

Acid Witch - Stoned

Yeah, consider me a vetyo for Killing Joke too then. I love them, but they're more post-punk than Swans are. Having Dave Grohl play on an album doesn't automatically qualify you.

That makes three vetoes (though mine should've been enough).

I don't really care about the veto thing one way or another but KJ are quite clearly metal related, highly influential STYLISTICALLY on other metal bands and have recently been featured on the cover of Terrorizer and Metal Hammer; Swans fit into a more folk rock/Americana bracket at the moment.

It's not for me to say but I guess SunnO))) were allowed not because they were as heavy as fuck but because they were as metal as fuck. I don't want to point out the obvious but their whole thing was based round playing drop tuned Melvins and Earth riffs at horrific volumes while dressed as monks. And then taking the aesthetic and applying it to black metal and taking on the lead singer of Mayhem as an auxilliary member. If this isn't metal, I literally don't know what is.

If Swans are in this poll I will vote them really high; if they aren't I won't but they don't feel as good a fit to me.

Anyway: Cephalic Carnage 'Misled By Certainty'
Blood Of The Black Owl 'A Banishing Ritual (Into White)'
Encoffination 'Ritual Ascension Beyond Flesh'
Cultus Sabbati 'Garden Of Forking Ways' (might be next year)
Dragged Into Sunlight '
Bongripper 'Santa Worshiping Doom'
Melechesh 'The Epigenisis'
White Hills 'White Hills'
White Hills & GNOD 'White Hills Drop Out With Gnod'
White Hills 'Stolen Stars Are Left For No One'
Kellermensch 'Kellermensch'
Solace 'AD'
Black Tusk 'Taste The Sin'
Suma 'Ashes'
My Uncle The Wolf 'Flush'
Ramesses 'Take The Curse'
Sloath 'S/T'
Shining 'Blackjazz'
Gnaw Their Tongues ’L Arrivee De La Terne Mort Triomphante'
Adrift For Days 'The Lunar Maria'

If it's any consolation, or adds any clarification I don't think Man's Gin or Scott Kelley's albums should be here either.

That should be: Dragged Into Sunlight 'Hatred For Mankind'

looking fwd to the main poll a lot more this year.

"let's eliminate a few albums before polling b/c they will already place in the main poll, thus, they are getting their recognition, no need to poll them in the metal poll, too" = bullshit

"god i really want these results to be UNPREDICTABLE..... do you guys think this really popular album should be voted on head-to-head with these less popular albums? i mean, wouldn't it be BORING if some people who dont live on ilx day and night submitted ballots and voted for the more popular album, and then it did better than these obscure albums i really like?? VETO" is reaaaally nagl, and total bullshit

fellow metalheadz, have not had immense pleasure of hearding beloved Swans' artifakt yet, but has come to general attention that it beink preemptively vetoed for not sufficiently metallurgic beink. if such troo, would beink a grave disservice and injustice allowed bloom manifold in prezent midst. such kalamitous, precedent-givink event must not beink given chance to spread like kansurs. so, with such mindink, still must beink insistink Swans allowed proper placink on glorious post-kapitalist/post-racialist listink, alone on general principle. in opinion humble, ALL metal-friendly musik must beink allowed prosperous placink on polls! do not forget, comrades, in Soviet Russia Swans vetoink YOU!!! pleaze to not let such come to pass on treasured, free-thinking massage bored. thanking most profusely you in advance.

Dimitri

okay my mood just improved 10x after reading that

http://i52.tinypic.com/2coh6vs.jpg

Yeah, corny indie fuX0rs typically vouch for Killing Joke and Swans all the time. Bring that pic back out when someone shows up and nominates Death Cab For Cutie.

Swans are folk? Great trolling Doran.

Horseback was given a ltd vinyl only release in the UK 2009, the main release on relapse in the usa was 2010. but if people want to veto it then fine.

Killing Joke has been vetoed I guess

"Horseback was given a ltd vinyl only release in the UK 2009, the main release on relapse in the usa was 2010. but if people want to veto it then fine."

it originally came out on Utech Records in the summer of 2009. Then Relapse re-released it. But hardly anyone heard it until it was on Relapse. Because Utech doesn't send free downloads to lazy metal writers. But I'm glad that Relapse gave it a wider audience. Its a great record.

and you can still buy the original cd package from Utech. even though it was limited to 500.

thanks scott

Yeah, corny indie fuX0rs typically vouch for Killing Joke and Swans all the time. Bring that pic back out when someone shows up and nominates Death Cab For Cutie.

omg death cab put out a new album this year?!??!???

~~~swoon~~~

let it go <rjg>

Aldo did you like Yrsel - Requiem for the Three Kharites ?

hey dudes, no offense intended but i will assist w/mod corrections and def vote but A) Henry and I are both pretty busy preparing for the wedding B) the sorta snipiness going on in this thread makes me not really down with being an active rollout dude because it reminds me that by the end of the all time thread it was pretty much 1000% no fun anymore. so im going to prob take a passive role this time out.

also i love the shit out of the swans and KJ but would veto both of them.

oh yeah and my home computer is broken and i am having too much fun hating it to fix it at the moment

because it reminds me that by the end of the all time thread it was pretty much 1000% no fun anymore.

you are not kidding.

you know, it took months to persuade you to run a 2010 metal poll, you were so worried about people complaining about the results (which, let's face it, ALWAYS happens on ilx). apparently the solution is to veto any album that could possibly be complained about once the results roll out, which in the end, will just get everyone complaining about what's missing from the results, instead of what's included. funny how that works...

I just want to see people's ballots. Can we skip the roll-out and tabulation and just talk about our favorite heavy shit released this year?

It'd be like Rolling Metal, but include people who may not be interested in the daily minutiae.

I think it will be awesome whether a couple of albums get vetoed or not and everyone should just, like, suck it up and applaud the good job being done by the abacus and calculator people.

This is ILM. We don't applaud till after the complaining's done.

I enjoy the roll-out the most, I would hate to skip that part.

no one nominating Xasthur?

Xasthur - My Father Will Guide Me up a Rope to the Sky

Now I know how noodle vague feels

wow, this thread really makes me not want to participate in the poll. If you all are so concerned about crossover albums placing, why not hold the vote after the main one, and omit anything that places there instead of arbitrarily vetoing anything based on a presumption that it will place high and somehow shouldn't.

something tells me Swans would be more put off by being classified as "metal" than anyone here is at them being considered for the poll. I think KJ should be in the poll.

I haven't seen mention of The Howling Wind's Into the Cryosphere. Also, please keep Horseback's Invisible Mountain as a 2010 release. Nobody here discussed it before 2010. Even allmusic lists it as '10. I haven't heard it, but Arckanum's Sviga Lae might be worth including?

how about we just announce the swans album as the winner of the poll ahead of time and then we can move on to the nominating and voting and everybody wins

the howling wind album is there

If you all are so concerned about crossover albums placing, why not hold the vote after the main one, and omit anything that places there instead of arbitrarily vetoing anything based on a presumption that it will place high and somehow shouldn't.

^^

why don't we have a poll to see which albums should be on the poll, then poll the results for metalness, then poll those results for ability to make clothes fall off of love interests

Putting aside the "corny indie people will vote for it" argument, Swans just don't feel metal, as I think I expressed fairly cogently above. That said -- IT'S ONE FREAKING ALBUM PEOPLE. There have been around 1000 posts bitching about how ONE ALBUM hasn't been allowed, when there is a selection of hundreds of great releases this year. Algerian Goalkeeper is running this poll. By his rules, Swans have been vetoed. He also vetoed Killing Joke, something that I nominated, by the same rules, and I'm not complaining. End of discussion. YOU are the ones making this poll not fun for YOURSELVES.

Killing Joke are girly metal! as definitively proven by the post above.

(j/k)

Who says we're not having fun being whiney assholes? I veto J3ff's definition of fun.

JEEZUS -- I am sorry I added to this contentious bitch session. I, personally, would like to make algeriangoalie and jj's life easy, not cause active pain for them. If this is going to be a dumb ego-fest then it ruins all the fun.

Let the Swans in, whatever... I don't care anymore!

but I don't think I want a tracks poll anymore...

nothings changing. No swans and there's no interest in a tracks poll so there wont be one unless others suddenly want one.

I think we all just need to take a step back and take a deep breath and remember why we're here: this poll is supposed to be a fun way to celebrate the metal releases from this year that we've loved. Two of my favorite metal-adjacent releases have been vetoed, and that's fine, because there will be other places I can express my enjoyment of them. let's just try to be reasonable here. I think we can all agree that, while Swans may be heavy, they do exist in a gray area when it comes to "metal." That gray area is why the vetoes exists. If something clearly not meddle was nominated, like LCD Sound System, there wouldn't even be a discussion. And we've definitely discussed this one to death. Enough people felt that they don't belong, just as enough people felt that Killing Joke didn't belong. Can we please move on and stop derailing the poll and get back to the task at hand, which is to talk about music that we love?

Would be nice if people tried to boost albums that are actually nominated.

(metal, not meddle, obviously)

J3ff OTM

yeah fuck a pink floyd

I would like to nominate Sorgeldom's "Inner Receivings"

vote black meddle

why dont you add the real xasthur album?

albums i would like to boost (that probably haven't been heard by a lot of peeps):

Cough - Ritual Abuse
Eldjudnir - Ragnarok
Liveride - Туманами

and albums that are pretty well-known but are way awesome:

Agalloch - Marrow of the Spirit
Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini
Electric Wizard - Black Masses
The Sword - Warp Riders

What was the name of the Xasthur album? Wasn't there a few out this year? inc one with marissa nadler that i still need to hear.

Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini
Electric Wizard - Black Masses
The Sword - Warp Riders

i really need to SERIOUSLY play the above three some more.

currently playing/digging Dawnbringer!

Dawnbringer album is fantastic. Anyone heard their other albums? I read that they were very different.

I was going to say Algerian Goalkeeper and jj deserve a meddle but it makes me sound like I should be on the sexual offenders register.

hey buddy, the michael jackson thread's over there --->

Enslaved kicking my ass but gud now!

this thread is nutz.

I'm going to have to ponder my nominations on the tree of woe but...

Also, please keep Horseback's Invisible Mountain as a 2010 release. Nobody here discussed it before 2010. Even allmusic lists it as '10.

I believe I voted for it on the 2009 poll. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Emblem-cool.svg/50px-Emblem-cool.svg.png

Can I just take a second to stump for the Ihsahn album? Listening to it again right now and this thing is seven different kinds of amazing. The saxophone adds such a great touch. If we ended up doing a tracks list, "Frozen Lakes On Mars" would very likely be in my top three.

yeah, that album rules. will definitely be in my top 10.

some others I'd add:

overkill, ironbound
autopsy, the tomb within

format your nominations damn you

that is how things get missed out

i formatted mine, didn't help

j/k i am just trolling you now, <33

overkill - ironbound
autopsy - the tomb within

and x-post with love, goalkeeper

I know they have a crap name, but anyone who likes Big Business and Torche really should listen to Tweak Bird. Great heavy rock.

I forgot one:

Black Bombaim - Saturdays and Space Travels

I had already added it to the list funnily enough!

AG - why did you take off the US Xmas/Harvestman/Minsk record? It's basically a three way cd length split. We've had splits on before, and it isn't a comp because none of it is released elsewhere.

well it was released on 7"s first but there was an objection. If you can persuade them to let it back in then im fine with it.

actually it was you!

I'll add it back in unless others complain.

I don't have a problem with letting in compilations that are carefully curated or consist of previously unreleased stuff, like This Comp Kills Fascists or Whom the Moon a Night Song Sings.

I dunno, cuz if we allow that then people who want to vote for greatest hits or unreleased stuff from years ago that's just come out will complain. It's a bit of a slippery slope. I think we are fine as we are.

i say allow compilations w/ primarily 2010 material but i doubt i have much of a say

otm

Flyleaf - Remember to Live

hah not according to metal archives it isn't!

It's markers music!

all included on wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_in_heavy_metal_music

I love how ilxor is nominating his actual purchases this year.

is mortiis still making shitty electropop?

no idea, maybe that one's not metal

the rest are, though

Murderdolls aren't. They fall in the stone sour category.

Murderdolls are actually more metal than Stone Sour. They're horror-glam stuff. I don't like 'em, but they're well within the poll's parameters and I vote to keep 'em. Also, I think ilxor is just being a pissy jokester, but I really liked the Yngwie and Tankian albums, and the A7X disc had its moments. I veto the Slipknot thing, though, 'cause it's a live DVD and not a new album.

ok i'll remove the slipknot.

the linkin park album actually has a few redeeming moments

You forgot to nominate Lordi, the pride of Finland. I wonder if Tuomas is a fan?

Aye, because obviously you're a fan of Belle & Sebastian, pride of Scotland.

i like their first 3 albums!

For the record, the year-end poll J0rdan and I will be running very soon will only have two qualifications. The songs/albums you nominate will have to have been released someplace in the world for the first time in 2010, but no longer than a year or two ago anywhere else in the world. Also, songs/albums leaked ahead of a 2011 release are ineligible.

That's it. Simple and easy. No fuss, no muss.

― Lightning Is For Babies (Johnny Fever),

you forgot to mention you only allow 20 nominations per person. You don't even get 20 tracks & 20 albums.

But I do look forward to it, it's always fun.

I might even vote swans #1!

woah I didn't know 36 Crazyfists made an album this year. I will have to check that out.

I might even vote swans #1!

people will think you're nuts for voting a metal album #1 though :(

you forgot to mention you only allow 20 nominations per person. You don't even get 20 tracks & 20 albums.

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Saturday, December 11, 2010 8:28 PM

It doesn't seem much.

can i nominate bushman's revenge - jitterbug? can't think of any other poll where it fits and it certainly should be on one

Not heard of it at all. I'll leave it to others.

I'm not sure we really need this long for nominations, we have over 200 and I doubt there will be that much more. I think another week would be enough and voting could start next week(Mon 20) until Saturday Jan 8. Start the roll out on Mon 10th.
Thoughts?

Lordi - Babez for Breakfast

that Disturbed record is pretty decent. I don't think the Sully Erna solo record is actually metal, though.

I assume you're not against the proposed timeframe changes?

GODSMACK ALBUM OF THE YEAR

WITH MY WHISKEY HANGOVEERRRRR

I have no problem with narrowing the nomination window.

Yeah, I think I overreached with it. Im pretty sure last year we opened voting a week before xmas as to allow people to vote before they go on holiday and dont have poll fatigue by the time voting opens. I know the ILM journos pretty much have their ballots ready if last year is anything to go by as most used the same ballots as they did in their magazine polls.

Could a mod please change title to closes Sat 19/12?

fyi - anyone who votes for those nu-metal albums is still better than anyone who votes for burzum

Maybe, but the Burzum music is still better, lol.

if you say so o_O

Johnny I'd rather listen to hair metal than nu-metal tbh. One atrocity is further away in time than the other.

I know people liked the Burzum album when it came out, but I assumed the novelty of a new album had worn off and people didn't really care that much for it now. I wonder if it made the Kerrang or Terrorizer lists.

Johnny I'd rather listen to hair metal than nu-metal tbh.

I would too, but I'd rather listen to both of them at the same time with some polka thrown in than I would Burzum.

btw where was all the hair metal in your century poll? No guns n roses! Not even any Sabbath!

I didn't see bill magill joining in complaints there.

There were only 2 songs from before 1950 as well. To say the poll was non-representative of all music would be an understatement.

haha. Was still fun tho, right?

Yep.

Just wait until the alternate century poll in a few years, there will be even less pre-50s tracks!

but let us concentrate on this one

All big releases & genres covered then?

bump

SWANS!
:P

hahaha looks like they finally took "heavy rock" out of the poll title to explain swans' absence -- classy

No, it was removed because the thread title was too long with the new date and abbott couldn't fit it all in.
Apologise to Abbott now!

You could always remove the redundant "Saturday" and restore "Heavy Rock"

(and SWANS)

Wow ilxor how did you ever get sbed, what a mystery

yeah i know right?

oh well, i'm over it, i'll still vote in the metal poll, even if i cant vote for swans. i even agree they are not metal, i just want to vote for them. for the record, thinking over my ballot, swans would be my #2 or #3 anyway...

You can vote for them in the big poll. I love Swans too, I'll vote for them in that.

you may want to nominate the sully erna album in the main poll, since you'll want to vote for that, too

who?

godsmack singer! duh

cant believe you dont even know the name of the singer of your favorite band of the decade

your trolling is getting very boring now. You're reaching markers territory.

that's an insult to markers tbh

Glad to see someone nominated the Coffinworm album, was listening to that again last night and reminded of how much I love it.

Aye, I nommed that. Great stuff.

Yeah, I was glad that the full-length lived up to the promise of the demos.

Not heard the demos actually.

Hey everyone go nominate your fave metal/rock etc albums of the year on THE 2010 ILM SUPER-MEGA YEAR-END ALBUMS 'N' TRACKS POLL™ is open for nominations thru January 2, 2011 @ midnight EST
see if we can get more representation this year. If there's stuff you like on the list you might all vote this time.

A rock band has never won the big ILM end of year poll. So everyone should vote there too.

And johnny is co-running it this year, I'm sure he would appreciate lots of people in this thread voting there. Wouldn't you, johnny?

Harvey Milk vinyl now for sale (pre-order)
http://www.bluecollardistro.com/bcd/product_info.php?name=bcd&products_id=3918

heh wrong thread, but no doubt plenty of posters would be interested anyway.

And johnny is co-running it this year, I'm sure he would appreciate lots of people in this thread voting there. Wouldn't you, johnny?

The more, the merrier tbh. Now that ballots don't have to be counted by hand, I hope we get 500 voters. (but no socks, plz!)

(but no socks, plz!)

we've been lucky to avoid socks in the past but there's no way around it really if someone wanted to. I like allowing lurkers to have a vote, it's just a pity there isn't a big database of registered users that we can check usernames with, I think a lot of lurkers register to vote in polls but never ever post! So searching for names would be pointless in that case not to mention time consuming. We gotta trust everyone.
But it's never been a problem before so as long as this remains the case then we can continue as we are.

the ilm eoy poll is a lot bigger though, how do you prevent sockpuppets voting?

For the most part in the polls I've run, I at least recognize the usernames of all the people who vote. Whether or not the names I recognize are socks or not, I have no idea.

A lot never give their username but I've seen no reason to suspect anything, most of the voters who i dont recognise have voted in each poll over the years and are coming from the same email they used previously. A lot of ilxors I have no idea what their real names are. but like I said, i've never seen anything to suggest shenanigans.

Anything new from yesterday, or just random recap?

You should do one of them there google spreadsheets like J0rdan and I are using...y'know, if you want to keep from reposting the master list 50 times in the thread just to add four new nominations.

took out doubles

how do i do that?
xp

Have you got a google account?

If not, just sign up for one. Then go here: http://docs.google.com/
You can import a txt file or spreadsheet into an online spreadsheet that everyone can view but only you can edit.

oh yeah, i have used this before to send stuff to glenn.. thanks.

Does this work ? https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AglsYL265OYTdEVFV3NYMHBEQmpKTWdGRkJBclQwbVE&hl=en&authkey=CM26_cUC

yessir

and ilxor, you cant edit it to add swans.

Next year I'm gonna keep track of the years releases.

Here's the EM version, in three different lengths:

all (4000+) - https://pub.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=Metal-Index&query=2010+Albums+%28Full+List%29
most (400+) - https://pub.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=Metal-Index&query=2010+Albums+%28Short+List%29
major (220) - https://pub.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=Metal-Index&query=2010+Albums+%28Short+List%29

whoah stats overload central

https://pub.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=Metal-Index&query=Upcoming+%28Major%29 is well useful though

Just checked out Tweak Bird and they are fantastic. Stonery/psych in patches and thunderous heavy metal in others. Its going on my ballot for sure!

but you only just heard it?

Jeff is convinced I would like it so, shit name aside, I should go try and find it.

Yeah, Tweak Bird have really been getting slept on, probably because of stupid name/album cover combo, but there's really no reason that they shouldn't be an ILM favorite.

Tweak Bird - Dark Twisted Fantasy - 396 new answers

^^ future ilm favorite

Okay, maybe "favorite" is an overstatement, but considering how many fans of Melvins-type stuff we have on here, I think we could definitely help get the word out about a really good band.

Start a thread on it? That will draw attention to it. Most of ILM dont read the rolling metal thread due to its soundbites of new releases thing.

cap true, I suppose it is one of the functions of a music journalist to promote underheard bands that he likes.

then start the thread!

Like i did with A Thread for the fantastic rock album that is Ghost - Opus Eponymous to try boost it.

ilxor, you will love it btw, as will dan,john,whiney etc

Hope that gets it some more votes.

Do we consider Endless Boogie to be metal?

I don't. I consider them to be awesome, but not metal.

Yeah, I don't really find them very metal, but I wanted to rep for them because the new album is so damned good.

ilxor im pretty sure most of the albums you are complaining about are on the list already, so i dont really see what you are up to.

oh! nice job, i see you have included stone sour now

Listening to this acid witch album, and the vocals are fucking stupid. They do not go with the music at all. And the vox are so far up in the mix to ignore them. Wish there was an instrumental mix of this cuz the musics good.

I want to nominate:

Petrychor - Dryad

It made me get into metal for the first time this year, and I ended up listening to a bunch of old Black Metal. I don't know how it holds up to the Canon of Black Metal or whatever, but I still listen to it at least once a month so it must be pretty good.

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AglsYL265OYTdEVFV3NYMHBEQmpKTWdGRkJBclQwbVE&hl=en&authkey=CM26_cUC

We missed anything?

There's bound to be one person says they missed this thread! But if they do, and wish to vote for something not nominated, all they need to do is ask on the voting thread to see if it's suitable and it will likely be allowed.

Has anyone done a Spotify list? I've started on one (mainly stuff I need to listen to), but have made it collaborative- please feel free to add things if you're a Spotify user:
http://open.spotify.com/user/nstewart/playlist/692yV7gzN1wxheAnU12FOa

Nope, viceroy or onimo i think usually does that kinda thing iirc

Neil, I tried to load your playlist but it showed me a list of zero tracks (perhaps it only lists when you're onine?). And also I couldn't add to it! It might just be my wonky spotify that's messed up, but I started a second collaborative playlist anyway just incase anyone else had the same problems I did.

http://open.spotify.com/user/cyclades/playlist/68hBEkhGa8bbsJWkPe0iNZ

Hopefully everyone can see the albums on it so far and also be able to contribute! Ok, thanks!
