As per voters, it seems like a lot of people got the Worldview album, too...

We were so much better off when we had record labels and bands had to be good enough to get signed before recording.

Yes!

Signum Regis or Diviner for me, not sure which one yet...

Thanks. I wasn't sure what it was for some of the death/black/doom albums, so I put S/T as a placeholder so they could at least get votes.

I gave SpaceGuy all these album titles here long before in 2 post lists in the following linked thread, but he ignored them all....

I asked you a question concerning all the albums you listed about the genres/descriptions, but someone else gave me the genres. I used his answers instead concerning the albums' genres, but seemed to skip the album titles. My apologies for the mix up.

I bought a lot of CDs this year and have a couple on order, but only 5 of them were released this year and they are listed in order with most favorite at the top:

1. Stryper - Fallen
2. Sweet and Lynch - Only to Rise (not a Christian album but Michael Sweet was involved)
3. Impellitteri - Venom (not a Christian album but Rob Rock was involved)
4. GX - Raize Some Hell (not a Christian album but Rex Scott was involved)
5. Worldview - The Chosen Few

The poll is still ongoing. The number of votes we've been getting is much larger than I thought. In the 2014 vote, we had ~160 submissions. We're at 550 and still adding a bunch every day. We've seen shares from about 3-4 bands that keeps driving more submissions!

by Kerrick Wed Dec 16, 2015 1:50 pm

Wow that is great! I'm looking forward to seeing the results!

by strangerhoncho Wed Dec 16, 2015 2:23 pm

That is great that a few bands are driving people there, but all that will mean is that they'll skew the results so that they're on top, as well as similar-sounding bands their fans like. So we can probably expect all metalcore to win the top 5. Razz

Probably. Didn't Promise Land do that last year? Not that they didn't deserve it, Harmony in Ruins is awesome.

Interestingly enough, the bands that did promote via Facebook aren't winning. They are certainly doing better, but all of them (sans one) were already doing well prior to the post(s), so the amount it skewed isn't as huge as you'd think.

Comparatively, Promise Land did it last year and about 1/3rd of all the votes were just for that band. This time around, you have *maybe* 7-8% voting for a single band in a block due to the much higher number of voters.

by SpaceGuy Wed Dec 16, 2015 2:45 pm

Oh, and for a quick preview: only one metalcore band was in the top 10. The rest is CMR-centric metal and some black/death/doom stewn in the top list.

by Blake Wed Dec 16, 2015 3:17 pm

I saw this shared by someone on facebook first and looked at it and about fell out of my chair when I saw Amelioration on the list

That's great! I stand corrected (and surprised).
