and much much more

is there any shock that Whiney is the falsest voter?

In addition there is, just for starters:

- bar-chart version of the winners table, so you can see the margins more vividly
- sample retabulation if we only counted each voter's top 10 (like in certain other polls)
- enthusiasm scores for all albums
- a Fealty ranking that weights votes according to what % of the voter's votes are for that album's genre
- a Kvltosis ranking to show how much of an album's support came from the poll mainstream or from its outsiders
- album similarity by voter overlap
- a full grid of how many votes of each point-value each album got
- an as-the-votes-came-in tracking of the EW/Agalloch race
- two different overviews of the race for the top 5
- nominees without votes
- voter centricity
- voter genre and country biases
- the dreaded Falseness chart
- voter similarity by album overlap

Once again, that's https://pub.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=ILM-Metal-2010

Is there any shock at the roll of shame at the bottom of the full list?

The winners by country list is great!
Thanks!!!!

Some notes:

That EW/Agalloch race was incredibly close. Two more voters could have changed the final result. And the fact that 60% of the voters in an 80-person poll voted for EW, Agalloch and Alcest is really remarkable.

The Winner Chart shows pretty strikingly how the mostly-flat points curve takes a dramatic turn upwards starting with Kylesa. That top 13 has a lot of consensus support behind it.

Striking, too, as I noted before when Algerian didn't want me to, that all but one of the abums in the top 35 got at least one #1 vote.

wow is that a ballot from Sim0n R(eyn0lds)??

Pretty proud, myself, of being the leading voter for Norway.

can't view the voter centricity chart?

So many stats to absorb! How did Korn not end up in the "Shite" genre?

Ha I thought this time around I was finally falling into the mainline as the votes came through but I still came in 71st on centricity

If you want to see how your own picks ranked, do this:
- find and click on yourself
- click the 40 (or whatever) next to Ballot
- click the "Rank" column heading and pick "reverse order"

Hmm, that chart looks OK in my browser, Siegbran. Try refreshing?

wow is that a ballot from Sim0n R(eyn0lds)??

― ilxor,

dont be silly. I didn't include surname so voters couldnt be googled etc. I put in ilx names when they were included or recognised. Most of the voters I think voted in the all-time poll so I guess that brought the metal thread more followers which is nice.

Voters by Top 10 Votes shows you who picked how many of the top 10, ranked by how many points they gave those top 10. James T came incredibly close to getting all 10 into his own top 10.

four albums w/ no votes

Pathfinder - Beyond the Space, Beyond the Time
White Hills & GNOD - White Hills Drop Out With Gnod
White Hills - Stolen Stars Are Left for No One
Witchsorrow - Witchsorrow

White Hills s/t album was nominated so i suspect that drew votes away?

Hipster Metal

Albums 1

Album Chart 510 · 21 · The Sword - Warp Riders

And although it's funny that Whiney was the top of the Falseness ranking, all those Falseness scores are impressively low. Even the one guy with 4 False Metal votes had 36 solidly non-false votes.

And yeah, we didn't keep track of who nominated what, but I'd love to know who nominated the ones that got no votes in the end.

that is really the only "hipster metal" album in the entire poll??

xp

Congrats to whoever is "Emily M" for beating me to lowest placed in centricity (and also for almost rediculously eclectic taste - Countess and Korn in the same top 10?)

Why am I the only one whose full name was used?

stoked that all my half-joking nu metal nominations actually got at least 1 vote apiece!

ilxors be weird

https://pub.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=ILM-Metal-2010&query=Genre%2FCountry+Album+Grid

this is pretty interesting... Germany had the most winning power metal.

j3ff you want it changed?

I still cant believed i wasnt in the centricity top 10. first time ever. Im usually top!

Skullflower - Strange Keys to Untune Gods' Firmament

^^ i would've voted for this also, had it been on the final nominations list!

How did I miss Julie Christmas making it through noms and not vote for it? We even had a debate about it not being in the list.

glenn and ez snappin werent bottom 2 either. they were top half! they are hivemind!

Not really that big a deal, I guess.

Honestly, I'm thrilled to have people agree with me.

So what stats do you guys like? Anything else you would like to see?

ouch! got the dreaded "false" branding for voting for these two bastard noise releases:

30 · Bastard Noise/The Endless Blockade - The Red List (Split)
17 · Bastard Noise - A Culture of Monsters

fyi, this is the live band lineup that sounds a lot like a heavier man is the bastard. no falser than shining or whatever! >:-(

albums with #1 votes that didn't make the countdown

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis
HIM - Screamworks
Wolf People - Steeple
Daughters - Daughters
Abscess - Dawn of Inhumanity
Nokturnal Mortum - The Voice of Steel

I think next year we should probably include labels. Would lead to some interesting stats, and also make it easier for people to purchase the albums.

the country stats are really cool. amazing job guys!

And even more work. If we do labels then those nominating must include them in the noms thread.

My fave will always be the genre-by-genre results https://pub.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=ILM-Metal-2010&query=Winners+by+Genre

Genre: Shite

Albums 7

3 · 1 · Sevendust - Cold Day Memory
3 · 1 · Stone Sour - Audio Secrecy
2 · 1 · 36 Crazyfists - Collisions and Castaways
2 · 1 · Disturbed - Asylum
1 · 1 · Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare
1 · 1 · Drowning Pool - Drowning Pool
1 · 1 · Murderdolls - Women and Children Last

My only false vote was Titan. I can see what you mean, but it's still a metal record round these parts.

Loving that SHITE is a genre. haha SHITE xpost

Also check your genre voter bias https://pub.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=ILM-Metal-2010&query=Voter+Bias

you guys havent mentioned the best genre name yet

Unleash the Fucking Fury
Albums 1

Yngwie Malmsteen - Relentless

jeffs fave genre is surprising

colin meloy from the decemberists wants to know if we can post ballots now

http://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/OB-LV502_decemb_G_20110113200122.jpg

Can understand that few people have heard Nokturnal Mortum record (local Ukrainian label, not on Spotify/iTunes/etc, no US distribution, shit EU distribution, no promotion). However, no votes at all just blows my mind. This is not some basement quality demo band - fits right in with Negura Bunget, Enslaved, Orphaned Land, Ihsahn or Eluveitie. Why didn't anyone vote for it?

well... i don't really care for Negura Bunget, Enslaved, Orphaned Land, Ihsahn or Eluveitie, sooooo

Siegbran I think the fact they are NSBM may have something to do with it..

"Scott, this was my ballot"

nice, there are definitely things i want to hear on there. probably my lamest metal-listening year ever. well, new metal-listening, anyway.

It's a map of the ILM Metal world in 2010. Click any pin to see which bands come from that country.

hey scott what about my ballot?

did glenn make this whole website himself

if so, well done

"hey scott what about my ballot?"

looks fine, i like some of those bands, just haven't heard the new stuff by them. and half of those bands i know nothing about. the horseback i got in '09. i liked that one a bunch.

My ballot - stuff that didn't place in bold:

Cathedral - The Guessing Game
Kylesa - Spiral Shadow
Triptykon - Eparistera Daimones
Quest For Fire - Lights From Paradise
Christian Mistress - Agony & Opium
Gnaw Their Tongues - L'Arrivée De La Terne Mort Triomphante

Alcest - Écailles De Lune
Ihsahn - After
Dio - At Donington UK: Live 1983 & 1987

decibel refused to let me NOT vote in their year-end thing so i just voted for stuff on Utech - my favorite label even if it isn't a metal label - and wolvserpent and agalloch and the body and celestiial and blood of the black owl and lustre. and some other stuff that i;m forgetting. so, some ilm-centric stuff.

EZ Snappin, the ratt & dio scored well and almost made it. We could've had a top 125 and still albums scoring 100+ points would have been left out. Pity that you don't like longer lists eh? ;)

for scott
126. Lustre - A Glimpse of Glory (126 Points, 7 Votes)

yeah, was tipped to lustre/starlit via scott on some ilm thread. love that stuff.

How patriotic/Unpatriotic were you?
Leading Voters by Country https://pub.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=ILM-Metal-2010&query=Leading+Voters+by+Country

OK quick list of new discoveries from this Poll:
- Les Discrets (first listen: fantastic, why did this come below Alcest? Would've voted for it.)
- Solefald (still doesn't do anything for me, didn't like The Linear Scaffold either back then)
- Agalloch (tried it again - hate to keep banging on but Nokturnal Mortum did this thing 10x better this year)
- Watain (better than I expected! Did I write them off too soon? Would've made my ballot.)
- 1349 (pretty decent, nothing really spectacular)
- Jucifer (everything I read I had the impression that it's some White-Stripes-do-Doom but it's more interesting than that. Shit vocals though)
- Twilight (lightyears better than the last one - would've made my ballot)
- Westering (sounds great on first listen)

And a great record that I heard too late for nominations and voting:
D'Olde Roop - Mondvolland (Dutch folk/black)

How patriotic/Unpatriotic were you?

I meant was most of your ballots from your own country. (Albums/Bands were rated by country of origin not the poster.)

I'm 5th highest voter for albums from the USA

Right you are. Fixed!

XP: Yeah, but Bad by Jacko is more metal than the Ozzy album.

Woah, wait a second... Blood Of The Black Owl are British?

I didn't even know there was a Daughters record out. I'm glad they got a number one vote from someone.

As part of my True Kvlt Metal Saturday, I started cooking a tortilla an hour ago before sitting down to read the stats from the poll and now I've got a pan full of carbonized onions and potatoes. This never would have happened if I had've just read Yottom Ottolenghi's vegetarian page in the Guardian.

Er, Blood of the Black Owl not so British. Fixed.

30 · Bastard Noise/The Endless Blockade - The Red List (Split)

^this album owns - I must have missed it being on the noms list - I think it might have actually come out at the end of 09 but I doubt it had a concrete release date y'know

feel like I'd have more stuff tagged as false if AG knew what it was (Mob Rules, Double Negative) - confirm/deny

Quest for Paradise - Lights from Paradise

That Black Mountain record is one of my favorites. Would have voted for it if I saw it, even if it does fall in the false metal category.

whatever happened to dj martian?

Nick B is certainly a popular guy according to that affinities list!

My ballot would now be totally different after having heard a whole load of stuff as a result of the run-down, which shows that (for me at least) it's a really great thing to be involved in- so thanks again for the time and effort the organisers put in!

Cheers! Do remember to pop back in to tell us all what you think of the albums you discover in the poll.

30 · Bastard Noise/The Endless Blockade - The Red List (Split)

^this album owns - I must have missed it being on the noms list - I think it might have actually come out at the end of 09 but I doubt it had a concrete release date y'know

yeah, I wasn't sure if it was 2010 myself but discogs lists it as 2010, so I just went with that.

and it's really a killer split. bastard noise bringing the proggy, noisy heaviness and endless blockade serving up an long-form grindy palette cleanser. sick!!

and I say again - so NOT false, goalkeeper! ;-)

If it wasn't in Metal Archives it got a false rating.

that stats page is so fucking awesome. great job. all ILX ballots need one.

and i wanna hear that furze! wish i'd kept up with the dude. was deeply in love with UTD a couple years back.

If it wasn't in Metal Archives it got a false rating.

ah, gotcha.

neither bands are metal, it's true. but they're about as metal as, say, the melvins are imo.

Metal Archives are a bit strict though with their ratings. It was just used as a time-saving guide on bands I didn't know anything about.

Anybody with authoritative country/genre corrections, feel free to speak up. Everything in Needle is dynamic, so those are trivial to fix and then everything just recalculates automatically...

Aye, only takes seconds to do

The 2010 metal album I probably listened to most was this record. Old material so not nominated but still - kicks so much ass!

How does his voice hold up live these days?

The Agalloch record really is as good as everyone has said, I'm glad I've had a chance to listen to it properly. Looking forward to listening to the Ludicra album, have just d/led it. I think I'm finally getting black metal!

Woohoo! Neil post your stats from your page!

Maybe the P&J will have a special metal section and it will be almost as good as the ILM poll

Some strange ones in that RYM list. I think everyone on that site must be German or Norwegian

i wonder if there would be any interest in the metal listening club?

The discoveries I've been returning to are Les Discrets (pretty much perfect January music) and The Ocean's Heliocentric (which has a few duff tracks IMO, but the peaks are amazing).

The Agalloch record really is as good as everyone has said

It's taken me by far the longest of any of their albums to get into, but when it finally clicked I realised what a monster it is.

the best kind of album, you never get tired of that kind of album really as it has so much to it. Why I picked it as my #1 over the Electric Wizard.

hey chap if we do a 2011 metal listening club would you be up for curating a week?
Anyone want to join in?

Woah, don't know if I'm nearly knowledgeable enough, but I'd give it a shot!

you just pick a couple of albums you love (or maybe 1 a week so it's easier to keep up) and post a link to spotify if they have it or people can google it.
Last year it started well but interest tailed off. But if enough people said they were up for it im sure mordy or one of us could start one for 2011.

Just to note: that Closest Voter Empathies list shows only the closest pairs, overall, not each person's closest match, so many people don't appear there. As you all figured out, each individual voter's page has their full empathy list. Each album page has an empathy list, too.

I'd be up for another listening club.

i checked out the coffinworm lp because of the poll and it proved to be very listenable—i played it several times last night.

do you read Revolver?

uh… me? no, why?

Ha ha ha. Nice one.

Sorry, I should say this is a reference to a forthright exchange of opinions on Revolver magazine between AG and WGW on another thread.

if i read music magazines then i for one would be open to one that covered coffinworm AND ran 'hottest chicks in rock' features.

lol

I dunno, I can't see Accept as being an ILM band at all.

I would certainly follow a metal club, and would be up for doing a slot.

First band I checked out today Sahg, I've ended up trying to book for a stage that I'm curating soon... Nice one.

what's the event? In London by any chance?

I dunno, I can't see Accept as being an ILM band at all.

I love old Accept, but I think only Adrien really reps for the reunion album - I just miss Udo's voice too much to give it a real chance.

OK guys go here and volunteer
The 2011 Mordy's Metal Listening Club - New albums every Monday!

I love old Accept, but I think only Adrien really reps for the reunion album - I just miss Udo's voice too much to give it a real chance.
You heard it? It's really, really good - for one, better I think than any of the Iron Maiden, Sodom and Destruction reunion albums.

the nokturnal mortum album is really quite good. shame about their political views but I'm not even sure what the songs on this lp are about. (lyrics don't seem to be in english.)

you could buy it for a lyric sheet ;)

Just realized I could trivially add some breakdowns by continent, in addition to country. Amused to see that I'm the leading voter not just for bands from Norway, but for European bands period!

you're the anti-jeff!

Or will be when the usa starts to lead the way in girly-metal again.

I'm usually more into European stuff, just a lot of great stuff coming out of the states this year.

Look what Glenn made! We can contrast & compare!

340 Electric Wizard, Black Masses

E Wiz might do better next year - it only got a US release today.

is that all the metal in the P&J this year from our list? Last year 3 or 4 were in the top 40!

i was only comparing the high end from the ilm poll to their relative placement on p+j; it seems that electric wizard's p+j voters were relatively less enthusiastic than their ilm voters (and i assume, without looking, that agalloch's were very enthusiastic in both places).

kylesa made it to #86

poor showing all round then

at least we have kanye right?

i'd rather he was left (out)

Next time I think with nominations thread , all noms should come with record label so we can have stats on that.
Of course if anyone wants to do it just now for the current results im sure glenn could let them *looks at viceroy*

Wouldn't there be an international issue with that due to licensing and what not?

then album would be connected to 2 labels.

needle conquers all. all hail needle

did ilxor ever report back with his reviews of the metal purchases (from this poll) that he promised to do?

stuff i bought from the top 100 (had heard bit & pieces before the poll, even voted for some, but am glad to have the full-lengths handy -- all of these are really great, nice consistent bunch)

i probably owned about 10-12 others before the poll... these are supplements

4. Alcest - Écailles de Lune (1,330 Points, 49 Votes, 4 #1s)
9. Harvey Milk - A Small Turn of Human Kindness (1,015 Points, 35 Votes, 3 #1s)
10. Dawnbringer - Nucleus (1,009 Points, 34 Votes, 2 #1s)
11. Ghost - Opus Eponymous (868 Points, 32 Votes, 1 #1)

54. Shining - Blackjazz (375 Points, 16 Votes)

oh and the US release of Electric Wizard, of course

What would your ballot have been if you had voted now?

oh god

I'm surprised you don't have a list ready tbh

every poll you have loads of people wishing they had heard something before voting. It's always fun to hear new stuff because of a poll

i've bolded the stuff i'd change -- not sure where everything would rank or what would drop, but i've engaged much more with the albums bolded and would bump each of them up significantly higher

i guess wizard/alcest/shining would all jump somewhere around deftones' placing, right in the top 5-10 range

agalloch would prob jump to #2 or so

stuff i'd rank lower: torche, twilight, boris/astbury, neurosis live album,.....

how's that for a quick recap?

You never cease to amaze with how you come up with lists so quickly

did markers give you the money he promised if you voted linkin park?

that was whiney actually, i think he ranked it in his top 5 of 2010 lol

It's almost certainly why john justen didn't want/allow dan to vote lol

I'd like to thank all of you that voted and nominated my band Hellbeard.. i realize there was some contraversy or whatever, but nontheless someone put us up, and you voted for it, so on behalf of Hellbeard I say thank you and good on you!! This list is amazing, especailly be it that it isn't chalk full of mainstream watered down caca that passes for heavy music these days.. My only regret is that I didn't hear about it sooner, to cast some votes.

HAILS!!!
thanks again, Sean, Hellbeard

p.s.. SHAMERLESS PLUG!!! The Hellbeard record is available on itunes, zune, cdbaby, amazon, or where ever you purchase your digital download music.. Or if you'r nicey nice, maybe we'll mail you one, but you better be really nice... lol!

Hey Sean you made it! You should introduce yourself on the Rolling Metal Thread 2011 (dont overdo the shameless plugs though haha)

Of coarse I won't over do the plugs... its not my first rodeo, brother... lol!!!

jj ,one of the co-runners of the poll was one who voted for your album btw. I can't even remember who nominated it. I'm guessing it was seen on a blog somewhere and someone really liked it and nommed it.

btw sean i had never heard you guys before the nom list came out and voted for you in the poll as my 19th place, dig the record a lot.

xpost oh hey thats me

Any luck finding a label? How many are in Hellbeard? Were you in other bands? myspace doesn't really say much plus its a crap site to navigate now.
How is your local scene? Bay Area has such obvious metal history I just wondered how it was now.

haha xp

i like how you say "not too many plugs" and then ask him for The Complete Annotated History of Hellbeard, 2011 Edition

welcome btw sean!

but that's different! We know practically nothing about them!

Wow thanks you guys, its really an honor..

No label as of yet, but its been a recent revelation to us to even go for that. we really just wanted to come up with some really heavy shit, that none of ever tried before. Personally for me, this IS my favorite genre of music, so to finally have the chance to write it and play it, its been more than aertically fullfilling.

We are a 4 piece, originally a 5 piece(3 guitars) but our bassist decided to leave due do personal issues and utter life bullshit beyond his control, we decided to have one of the giutrs move over to bass, figure out how do keep all those same parts going without losing anything. Its been a little rough, but we got a handle on it, and are writing new stuff now, to hopefully record an EP in the summer, if the planets aligne the right way..

We've all been in other local bands, none very noteable, although I was in a Rock'n'roll band w/ Mark Oseguada from Death Angel on vox called All-Time Highs!- pretty much bar fightin rock'n'roll like The Bronx, The Hellacopters..

The scene here in the bay area was absolute shit about 6 or 7 years ago.. But in the last 3-4 years, especailly for heavier music (which I say cuz there is more than just metal going on) its been AMAZING!! Especailly in Oakland.. tons of warehouse shows have poped up, all underground- no advertising, except fliers, they don't even give out adresses usually-with tons of kids showing up in a glorious D.I.Y. old school punk rock kinda way.. grindcore bands, are playing with hardcore bands, playing with doomy bands, with black metal bands, playing with crust punk bands, playing with death metal bands.. its awesome. I'm stoked to be witnessing it.. I saw Black Breath in one of these spots a few months back, and it was AMAzing!!
It reminds me of the mid to late 80s thrash scene, but I think there is different intensity now than then. Its a little more serious, where that scene then was a little more about the party. these spots in Oakland are about the music and the band pouring thier hearts out, and emoting.. its very very cool..

grindcore bands, are playing with hardcore bands, playing with doomy bands, with black metal bands, playing with crust punk bands, playing with death metal bands..

That's ILM Metalheads in a nutshell!

Hellbeard was originally a more dirty rock band called 66seven-say Queens of the Stone Age without any of the goofy shit mixwd with a slower Motorhead. I joined when their drummer left, and added some well needed power to the band.. over the coarse of maybe 6 months, my musical influence started to be so much that the music was drastically changing, all with thier blessing, and it warrented the name change.. Our singer/guitarist Joe had come up with the name, and in hoping no pirate tags would come up, it stuck.. Joe is very dear friend, who I've known for years, amd he actually introduced me to my now fiance... I ended up bringing in James on the at the time 3rd guitar, to bring in some of the more keyboard/pad ambient stuff you hear-I'd played with him before in a past project, and I've been very good friends with him over the years, but he's absolutely out of his fucking head..

We really just try and write music to satisfy ourselves really. we don't try to put any boundries on anything, and we don't try to stick what we do in a box. plus, we're older cats, so we don't give a flying fuck anymore about what others think, but its awesome and very humbling to get praise for what we do, especailly from across the pond- Hey this interweb shit is alright.. lol!
