[CiG]

Wtf really? My CD says 1997.

Ah, one of those Japanese release deals. Looks like RYM has fucked up a bunch of primary release dates for Symphony X albums too.

Symphony X? Did I get you into them? Possibly during a Yngwie chat

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Divine Wings is '96

Can we count it for '97 anyway since it pretty much got a full release with InsideOut and CNR at that point? I honestly forgot about it being issued with Zero.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was all you.

The album was released first in 1996 so i think that would've been the correct year to have included it in. We've done the same with other albums so i dont think it would be the right thing to do here just because some of you guys forgot or didn't know.

[crimsonfloyd]

sure we can push it back a few days i guess. But get on it compa, don't make us wait too long.

Can we get a new deadline then? Because I COULD post my list tomorrow, but if I have some extra time I'm gonna take advantage of it.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

There's never really been a hard deadline in these polls, a couple of days after the 17th i guess. @dwellerINTHEdark or anyone else who's still planning on turning in a list, how many more days would you guys need?

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

If I can get five more days that'd be great, but I can work with two more as well.

[CiG]

Redoing my list tonight, grown dissatisfied with it since I posted it originally.

 

[The Ozzman]

So the 'picks unranked will all get split rankings' does not matter if I have some ranked? Load of shit but okay I'll just unrank all of them. I swear that no country was able to figure out the scoring in this scenario before but I guess I'll consider the source and augment my rankings accordingly.
