GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 2009

I'm glad you quoted me for The Chasm. I don't usually have a way with words when it comes to music but I'm quite happy with that blurb.
 
Probably not as fast as they'd leave if I put a track from Sunbather or Genevieve on. The latter would probably just send them all to sleep actually :p.

In all seriousness, I don't know what you have against Beherit. I'm not the biggest fan of the band myself, and I don't consider DDtM to be a classic. Engram is legitimately good though.

What I have against them is that they suck. DDTM is garbage. Terribly written, performed, and produced music that lacks consonance or vision. A bargain bin CD that has become hyped by plebs over the years. Enegram isn't terrible, it's just a mediocre, run-of-the-mill black metal album.

It's interesting to me that there is very little overlap between people who listed Chasm and people who listed Vektor, despite both those albums being the obvious #1-2 from the get-go.

You're the only one I've seen admittedly leaving off albums from your list because "they'll get enough votes anyway". So I don't see your argument.

From what I can see, everyone votes for albums they like. Look at HBB and his lists in more modern threads, most of it is made up of stuff that no one else votes for. He doesn't care that they won't make the final 10.

... you must have some fucked up memory if you think im the only one who did that. I did that just once and if im mistaken it was an album i liked too and wasn't necessarily competing with most of the stuff on my list. Wanted to give points to other albums that i thought were worthy of being in the top 10

And you think i give a shit how hbb votes? Anyway, im probably one of the few people here who actually votes for the albums he really thinks are 1-10. Which will not be the case anymore, thats for sure.

Come on, you should know this by now. The only person that TechBarb's rules don't apply to is, unsurprisingly, himself.
 
there is some serious paranoid delusions going on in this thread

if anyone is voting 'strategically' in this they're taking things a bit too seriously (as you will be TB when you start doing that)

this isn't the mixtape game where i can understand this its a list of your favorites

mine was full of shit that had no chance at the top 10
