Album of the Week Voting Thread 2012 Onwards

Malice

Back by popular demand (again ), is the Album of The Week. The rules are the same as before.

• One person, one vote per week. You can either quote someone else's nomination or you can post a different album.
• You can vote for the same album each week if you like but you still only get one vote per week.
• The new album of the week will be revealed each Monday. If there is a tie in the voting myself and lord lucan will decide the winner.
• Any albums that were previously voted as albums of the week may not be voted for. The full list is below. Note that this just means the album can't be voted for. If the band in question released more than one album then you can simply vote for a different album by the same band.
• Any votes from one post wonder accounts won't be counted so no registering new accounts to push up the number of votes for your chosen album.
• Please only post votes on this thread. Discussions on any of the albums nominated don't belong here.
• The moderation team reserves the right to discount any vote and their decision is final.

You know, I'm glad this is back and I'll tell you why: Looking through the list of previous winners, it really is a stellar collection of albums. It means anyone looking for something new to listen to, can look at that list, pick out a random album, and chances are it's great.

So can we start suggesting now or is that not till Monday?

Yep, start voting now. The voting will be open until next Monday morning (April 23rd).

Knifey Spoony

I was gonna throw this up the last time this thread was run but there's something down right odd about not having Master of Puppets on the list.

So, Master of Puppets is my nomination.

TheStickyBandit

Threat Signal - Under reprisal

Passenger

Dream Theater - Awake

+1.

GLaDOS

My vote goes to Dream Theater - Awake

Max Power1

Going to vote for the Crue - Dr Feelgood
A defining album of glam metal, and its worthy of including on any AOTW list.

Wrongway1985

Vote cast for Dr.Feelgood so

Agreed, it is an iconic metal album. Master of Puppets gets my vote.

Kess73

Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time.

bigbadcon

Its not right that Master of puppets isnt up there.

My vote goes to it...

icarus86

Another vote for Master of Puppets here. Some great albums on that list of previous winners

Joe_Dull

I'd normally vote for Dream Theater, but Awake is probably my least favourite album of theirs so...

Master of Puppets for me.

:eek::(

Easy to see MoP is gonna win it this week. Definitely surprising it hasn't all ready. It certainly belongs up there

Nailz

Down - N.O.L.A.

I'm shocked it wasn't in that list of 70-ish albums, it's up there with the best Metal albums written in the last 20 years!

lord lucan

Strangely enough i'm going with MOP too.:)

I didn't mean to shock you, good Doctor. There's just something about it that doesn't click with me as much as the rest of them. Don't get me wrong though, it's still an awesome album. Mmm... Voices :pac:

Malice

I think I'll vote for Master of Puppets as well.

Malice

The results have been counted. The new thread is here.

Voting for next week starts now.

TheStickyBandit

As I've noticed some interest in this album on here before it might get a few votes.

36 Crazyfists - Rest Inside the Flames

Somnus

I'll nominate Dream Theater - Awake again this week

Mental Mickey

Reign In Blood

Flicks two fingers at Max.

Was gonna vote for something else as I thought championing DT's Awake was an exercise in futility but seeing as a few of yiz are giving it a vote I will too


Dream Theater - Awake

Malice

Deicide - Legion

just to get it on the damn list

Joe_Dull

36 Crazyfists - Rest Inside the Flames.

Absolute masterpiece of an album, flows perfectly from start to finish without a dull moment.

Nailz

Deicide - Legion

Yeah, well... No point in continuously trying to piss off our fellow R&M boardsies for longer period of time. T'is a good album, sure!

Cill94

Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus

Gotta be this one from me:



Amazing, brilliant album, dominated by Hoglan. \\m// (. .) \\m//

bigbadcon

Death - Symbolic

Playing this to Death lately...BA DUM TIIISSSHHH

Schism

+1 Candlemass

Angron

By my estimation* Deicide has it :pac:



*If my counting is off I blame lack of sleep

Kess73

Come on folks, throw a vote or two to Dream Theater

One vote would mean Malice could still pull his casting vote trick

But two late votes would seal the deal, and send Max scurrying back to his lair, cackling about revenge like a metal Dick Dastardly

Malice

I've just realised that the new thread should have been up on Monday but I completely forgot so we'll let the voting run until Sunday.

DrumSteve

Think I may create a fake account to +1 my fear factory request... :P

Morbid Angel - Altars Of Madness. Absolutely brilliant debut.

Banjo

I've never listened to any of this weeks candidates but I always wanted a reason to give Dream Theater a chance... am I too late to +1 for Awake?

No, I'll add it to the list of votes for this week.
