[Krow]

Gonna close this on Tuesday at 5 PM PST, so get in any final votes or revisions before then.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

are you high on shrooms again or did you not realize that he himself and mort turned in their lists today?

 

[crimsonfloyd]

@crimsonfloyd hey C.O.D. still ended up last even with me placing it at #2? Are you scouting these right?

Yup. With 15 people voting, the impact of a single vote isn't that big.

C.O.D.:

• 7th place: 3- 6 points
• 6th place: 1- 3 points
• 5th place: 1- 4 points
• 4th place: 1- 5 points
• 3rd place: 0
• 2nd place: 1- 7 points
• 1st place: 0
• Unranked: 1

32/14=2.28

Lillie:

• 8th place: 3- 3 points
• 7th place: 4- 8 points
• 6th place: 4- 11.2 (Mort's vote was worth 2.2, since he only listed 7 albums)
• 5th place: 1- 4 points
• 4th place: 1- 5 points
• 3rd place: 1- 6 points
• 2nd place: 0
• 1st place: 0

Gotcha. But i dont get how my first place vote didn't effect Hallow's Victim. And why im not even listed for giving it a first place vote.

Just forgot to label it. Your votes were counted.

 

[CiG]

(the self-titled is like Bauhaus meets doom)

That's a pretty good way to describe it. There's also a triangular Sabbath/Vitus/Bauhaus connection because Bauhaus covered "Saint Vitus Dance" on their debut, a Sabbath song that Vitus named themselves after. You probably already saw that coincidence but it's really cool.

*Edit* nevermind. Misread that. Cool connection. Did Saint Vitus ever reference Bauhaus as an influence?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Was the band named after that song?

yes

On the first Saint Vitus album they list their influences in the 'thank you' section and I don't remember Bauhaus being in there, though I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were.

4) Mournful Cries (1988)

Average points per vote: 4.7/8

First place votes: 1 (@Slammed)

I think Mournful Cries is better than Die Healing.

...Mournful Cries probably my #3 and is probably the better choice to buy though, now that I look.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

3) Die Healing (1995)

Average points per vote: 5.6

First place votes: 1 (@Burkhard)

I saw Saint Vitus at Hammer of Doom last night and they fucking killed. New stuff would be cool, but they went out on such a high note with Die Healing that I don't think we really need another album. God forbid they would do a Trouble or Witchfinder General.

I have a hard time deciding between Die Healing and the debut. Dark World is one of their very best songs, in any case.

Die Healing is such a heavy album, The Sloth!

Die Healing is the best Vitus album. Everything about it is fantastic.

2) Saint Vitus (1984)

Average points per vote: 5.8/8

First place votes: 6 (@CiG @HamburgerBoy @Krow @Onder @Omni @no country for old wainds)

I like Saint Vitus' debut the best. Nothing compares to Scott Reagers' performance on that album.

I really don't get how people think Reagers Vitus is "clearly superior" to Wino Vitus...

its really like comparing getting your dick sucked to having sex... cant really go wrong, but yeah I've always preferred Reagers.

first album is on another level from the rest for me. the vitus song is my favourite on this playlist and it isn't even necessarily my favourite on that album.

1) Born too Late (1986)

Average points per vote: 6.24

First place votes: 5 (@Oblivious Maximus @Master_Yoda77 @I-TEND-TO-DIE @crimsonfloyd @Mort Divine)

What music did you listen to before metal?

I came out of my mother's womb with a PBR in my hand and Saint Vitus "Born Too Late" blasting so, nothing.

I found Born Too Late too light for a doom metal album.

I definitely don't think so, it's pretty good for that era of doom.

I'm missing the point, aren't I.

It's because he was born too late.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Competitive rankings. Every album except Lillie: F-65 and C.O.D. got at least one first place vote, and every album except Die Healing and Hallow's Victim got at least one last place vote.

I'll be posting the Dio thread this evening.

 

[The Ozzman]

I'll be posting the Dio thread

this evening.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Pretty good list. The two best made the top 2.

 

[I-TEND-TO-DIE]

Born too Late on Nr. 1? fucking cool only Mournful Cries should be abit higher ranked thought this is very underrated..
