[JayKeeley]

Shall we tally the results?

I'll take bracket 1.

 

[JayKeeley]

OK Bracket 1 Results are in.

Darkthrone 13 Novembers Doom 14 CLOSE!
Empyrium 21 Madstodon 8 Not even close!
Agalloch 28 Neurosis 5 Bitch slap
Tool 18 Primordial 15 SHOCK DEFEAT!!!!

Primordial are out already...!

 

[JayKeeley]

OK don't all volunteer at once. I'll start tallying bracket 2.

 

[General Zod]

I'll do Bracket 3.

Zod

 

[JayKeeley]

Bracket 2 Results....no surprises here

Blut Aus Nord 13 Moonsorrow 16
Anathema 7 Orphaned Land 16
Enslaved 19 Mar de Grises 11
Iron Maiden 15 Naglfar 7

 

[General Zod]

Zod -- have you actually even listened to your store bought copy of Hammers of Misfortune? You're actually torn between that and The Chasm, the band you ignored at HC?

Yep and yep. I like one song on each disc. Why didn't you vote for the disc you felt had one of the best songs of the year? "Character" is average at best, with nothing that stands out.

Zod

 

[JayKeeley]

I voted for Character? Not I.

 

[General Zod]

I voted for Character? Not I.

Nope. You voted for neither. And I know you flat out love, at least two songs on "Godless". Can you say that about "Character"?

Zod

 

[General Zod]

DESTROYER 666 - Cold Steel...For an Iron Age (22) over OPETH - Ghost Reveries (6)
AMON AMARTH - Fate of Norns (17) over KING DIAMOND - The Puppet Master (9)
HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE - The August Engine (16) over THE CHASM - Spell of Retribution (10)
NEVERMORE - This Godless Endeavor (17) over DARK TRANQUILITY - Character (9)

Zod

 

[JayKeeley]

I do love 2 songs on Godless but the rest I could leave almost entirely, whereas Character was consistently average-at-best, and so it became a question of which album I disliked the least.

 

[NAD]

Tool 18 Primordial 15 SHOCK DEFEAT!!!!

Primordial are out already...!

THANK FUCK.

 

[Chromatose]

THANK FUCK.

QFT


I was getting worried there, sweatin' it out, I knew it was close.........

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Total justice done there

 

[NAD]

If it was Rwake v. Primordial I would've probably voted for Rwake, just because of all the Nemtheangnaga knob slobbery that goes on around here.
