It wasn't even close, Anthrax pretty much ran away with it.

Thanks again to all the people who put lists in.

im happy with 2-5.

I disagree

Terrible top ten.

I'll throw up my list with the BB numbers for comparison soon.

The top two are a massive failure.

for tallying up the votes. I'm surprised Anthrax fared so well.

1 | ABSU - Abzu 3
2 | 40 WATT SUN - The Inside Room 21
3 | OPETH - Heritage 2
4 | FALKENBACH - Tiurida didn't rank
5 | RAVENCULT - Morbid Blood didn't rank
6 | PRIMORDIAL - Redemption at the Puritan's Hand 5
7 | ENSLAVED - The Sleeping Gods (EP) didn't rank
8 | DEMONAZ - March of the Norse 34
9 | ALTAR OF PLAGUES - Mammal 51
10 | MOONSORROW - Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa 74
11 | PESTE NOIRE - L'ordure à l'état pur 59
12 | THULCANDRA - Under a Frozen Sun 91
13 | MASTODON - The Hunter 11
14 | ACID WITCH - Stoned 78

Well.. I'm not that surprised that Ravencult went unnoticed, but I definitely thought more people would have voted for the Falkenbach album.

Anyhoo good stuff overall, but for the record, fuck Anthrax.

For the most part, but not overall, this top 20 goes to show how bland the majority of people's tastes are here... if the Anthrax record is better or more interesting than Uncle Acid, then I'll be fucking damned.

for the great job though dude. You have more patience than I to conduct such a poll.

Cool! Arch/Matheos at #6. I'll take that you farts.

right? Pisses me off to see Alestorm on there...

Anyway butthurt aside thanks again for all the hard work LOAF

I think this is the fewest albums I've nominated that have ranked ever.

1. Spearhead - Theomachia
2. Absu - Abzu - #3
3. Moonsorrow - Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa - #74
4. Ravencult - Morbid Blood
5. Falkenbach - Tiurida
6. Nader Sadek - In The Flesh - #35
7. Thantifaxath - s/t EP
8. Forteresse - Crépuscule d'Octobre
9. Blut Aus Nord - 777 Sect(s)
10. Peste Noire - L'Ordue a l'etat Pur - #59
11. Cauldron - Burning Fortune - #89
12. Unexpect - Fables of the Sleepless Empire - #50
13. Gernotshagen - Weltenbrand
14. Vallenfyre - A Fragile King - #82
15. Vader - Welcome to the Morbid Reich - #7

+1
I'm really happy to see Abzu rank #3. That's a fantastic record. I'm a little surprised Ravencult didn't rank at all, but I wasn't paying attention to anyone else's list really. Not surprised Moonsorrow and Falkenbach didn't rank, as sad as it makes me.

edit: So Moonsorrow ranked and I just can't read, hmm. OK.

i agree! A couple good ones, but what i came away with and from reading alot of lists, is that alot of people aren't even listening to that many albums, seems as if some are really missing out. An-fucking-thrax for christs sakes.. I don't care, really, i still like looking through the lists and came away with a few that i discovered that i like (like the Vastum album).

thanks for putting that together, LOAF, interesting as always.

moonsorrow is 74

1. While Heaven Wept- Fear of Infinity - 63
2. Symphony X- Iconoclast - 9
3. Primordial- Redemption at the Puritan's Hand - 5
5. Iced Earth- Dystopia - 4
7. Insomnium- One For Sorrow - 23
8. Vektor- Outer Isolation - 29
9. Krisiun- The Great Execution - 37
11. In Solitude- The World. The Flesh. The Devil - 67
14. Fleshgod Apocalypse- Agony - 55
15. Vader- Welcome to the Morbid Reich - 7

Thanks again for the hard work LOAF.

also i'm surprised the Crowbar, even with a nice #20, didn't show much higher. And the Novembers Doom didn't even place? Give me a break, a much better album that dozens of those....i guess thats what happens when you release albums early in the year.
Also, surprised that the Warbringer and Vallenfyre placed so low.....especially the Vallenfyre a late-year strong album that has alot of appeal across the board.

You read my mind, which is why I knew I didn't have to say it

Thanks for singling me out though even though i share the opinion of many! I can add it to my legacy.

Great Job, LoaF, thanks for doing this. Not what I expected at all...

1-Steel Panther-Balls out(28)
2-Mastodon-The hunter(11)
3-Obscura-Omnivium(16)
4-Deicide-To hell with god(36)
5-Macabre-Grim scary tales(61)

13-Deceased-Surreal overdose(15)
14-In Solitude-The world,the flesh,the devil(67)
15-Charred Walls of the Damned-Cold winds on timeless days(dnr)

13 out of 15 placed.it's pretty obvious that i am better than most of you whiny losers.

Much like my IQ, apparently. Thanks for pointing that out...

Fucking Anthrax? Really?

I'm only slightly surprised, as I didn't know they had an album out this year.

Yeah, its the Target crowd anymore.

I just noticed Morne "Asylum" is not on the list. Seemed to be an early year favorite. Thats just downright criminal thats not on here somewhere.
