angmar you are a true @$$hole

how is he an asshole? it's against the rules.

I think we need to start lining things up for Secret Satan if we're going to run that again.

I was thinking about that this morning. Yes.

I will join in this year but my entry will be filled exclusively with Europe songs. Maybe I'll throw some Asia in, too.

Seconded!
I'll be participating again. :D

/Calls Vince.

me too :)

Vince or whoever will be running it should ensure that nobody is paired with the same person as last year.

And that I get something in return this year.

That too. But we kept track of who didn't send anything, and those people won't be allowed to participate. Hell, we could just limit it to people who [I]did[/I] send, plus trusted people like Tyler.

[QUOTE=pate;16829296]I was thinking about that this morning. Yes.[/QUOTE]

I was thinking about it last week...but I mean, it's still 2 months away ish <_<

Maybe I should start it.

I too want something this year. >:[

You could make a thread and have people send you their info now, since people are lazy ****s and will take forever to do it.

someone gas this noob, im sick of the bad dead jokes

Alright, I think for the album of the year comp I'll be running I want to make it metal only, and the qualification for being metal is the band being on Metal Archives. I know the site fails 70% of the time, but it's an easy way to limit.

Somebody else can run a non-metal one or something if people want non-metal.
Thoughts?

I seem to recall facing the problem of pretty well known metal bands not being on MA...but idk if it's any more practical to go by amg, rym, wiki or any of those either.

As long as there's a standard criteria people can't bitch too much though i guess.

MA is the most accurate of all of those though.

Just go by MA and if someone wants to dispute an album or band let them and somehow make a decision idk.

Well, the point of using something else as the decider was to avoid having someone make a decision.

I can just call it "Top Albums of 2008 That Are On M-A"

Should I start the comp like now or wait until Jan 1? Any '08 album that's yet to be released has leaked anyway.

It'd probably be best to get started now, in the very least with the preliminary stuff.

Will do. Making thread now.


Please sticky the nominations thread. Thanks.

im gonna keep complaining about the metal-archives link thing because theyve gotten more absurd with the types of bands they wont allow to be added, example:

Hey guys,

I don't know where we're getting these new folk from, but instead of flaming them and killing our forum even more, I think we should all share our wealth of knowledge :)

So, one thing I was thinking we could do is sort of along the lines of Jom's sticky about essential albums, but do a sort of guide to how to get into more metal styles. Like I mean we all sort of follow the same progression right? We started with Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, moved to In Flames and CoB, Iron Maiden and Metallica are somewhere in there. I think having a sticky to sort of outline bands for people to check out would be good since we seem to be getting lots of more mainstream folks and all you guys want to do is flame them =\

Would folks participate in this ITT please and then I can make a sticky post? I'll probably point to Jom's lists too for completeness.

Sure.

Sounds like a good plan.

Ok I'm thinking something like this. Provide suggestions/add genres.
