GMD Song Survivor: Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind - Round 5

[HamburgerBoy]

Didn't we do that too?

Like yeah I'm sure we did. Fuck's sake you guys think alike.

 

[CiG]

We did? My memory sucks or maybe I just didn't play it.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I'm positive because I remember TNB getting really testy over people's picks.

 

[CiG]

That's like every week or so.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Apparently it was actually a month before you joined, so at least you have an excuse. It's just hilarious with hundreds of potential albums to pick between, everyone goes for the same handful that have already been done.

 

[CiG]

Well, I'm trying to think of albums everybody in here has the best chance of having already heard.

ok mr. unique snowflake pls name these hundreds of albums that a) are well known enough to get plenty of voters, b) wouldn't have a predictable result, and c) haven't been done already

[CiG]

To Mega Therion would be cool.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

[Vegard Pompey]

Nice try but I don't see many of these albums having enough fans to sustain a song survivor. If I could get a total of 17 participants for Piece of Mind, how many do you think would show up for a Dark Quarterer or an Under Jolly Roger poll? Keep in mind an album like Deathcult for Eternity which seems pretty damn popular around here attracted so little interest the song survivor was discontinued midway through.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

We didn't get as many for past survivors either. The forum is a little more active recently. If people are too plebeian to know even entry-level albums outside of their sub-genre comfort zone, fuck them. We can always rotate genres around as well, or even inform people of the future album to give time for people to familiarize themselves with it.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Holy Diver or Crystal Logic.

 

[CiG]

Black Metal by Venom.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Black Metal by Venom.

Why would we spend that much time on a C+ album?

 

[CiG]

I said Black Metal not Deathspell Omega.

 

[Phylactery]

yeah i remember, some of you cuntwads tried to vote Maze of Torment out in the first or second round.

What the fuck?! Maze of Torment is the best song on the album. Ultra punishing blast beats and the whole song feels like a descent into insanity. 10/10. One of the best death metal songs ever.

What ended up winning?

Burzum - Burzum
Demigod - Slumber of Sullen Eyes

might be a good choice from HBB's list.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

I said Black Metal not Deathspell Omega.

And I said C+, not A.

 

[CiG]

I agree, Deathspell Omega is a C+ band.

 

[Phylactery]

Deja Vu - pretty sure we had the Venom vs Deathspell Omega debate not long ago. They're completely incomparable.

Welcome to Hell and Black Metal are definitely more than C+ albums though.
