Pain of Salvation
-
I am happy to see that in a forum filled with prog-heads, that Alter Bridge did indeed, survive two rounds of this thing :metal
One Day Remains is a better album than any of these albums that are in the final round, and I'm not just saying that as a Alter Bridge fan.
I'm gonna have to go with Blackfield on this one
-
I've never heard The Human Element by Ayreon before...
Pain of Salvation - BE
-
I've never heard The Human Element by Ayreon before...
Its Ayreon's most listenable album.
Went with Blackfield because its awesome. Mastodon was SO CLOSE to making it...ah well.
-
Be. Blackfield is pretty much synonymous with "nothing special" for me.
AND ITS THE HUMAN EQUATION FOR GOODNESS SAKE
-
Went with Blackfield, though I'm glad to see Alter Bridge and Mastodon made it as far as they did.
-
BE. One of the best albums ever.
-
I fixed it. It's just a copy paste error.
-
BE, although I'm surprised that The Human Equation didn't make the finals.
-
BE, of course.
-
BE
-
How is it that 7 people have voted BE in text and it only has 5 votes above?
-
Blech.
Don't know Blackfield and BE sucks.
-
Don't know Blackfield
You'd best be getting on that, then.
BE sucks.
No.
-
I'm surprised that The Human Equation didn't make the finals.
I am, too, but happily surprised, as that album simply is not good.
Anyway, this is an easy vote: Blackfield.

This is probably the first time I've ever differed from you in musical opinion.
-
Blackfield, easily. BE is Pain of Salvation's worst album by far.

Listening to The Human Equation is like listening to showtunes. I think it's great anyway, but it's probably the worst Ayreon album despite awesome performances from James and Mikael.
-

Blackfield.

Ugh, you forgot about Scarsick.
BE is nice on occasion, but falls far short of being great. I'm just not voting, haven't heard Blackfield and am unwilling to vote for BE.

inb4 Nick/Scarsick fail

Really? I mean, its not fantastic, but out of all of Arjen's stuff that I've heard, that's the only thing I can come back to.
-
BE. One of the best albums ever.
-
Haven't heard BE enough to vote, but there's no way Blackfield I is winning my 'best album' of anything vote. I abstain!
-
Great to see Mastodon make the top 3.
Pain of Slavation
-
Bah, pretty lame music-year tbh.
-
I've been thinking about it, and I think I'm going to run the final round as a vocal (meaning by post) vote rather than clicking a radio button. More people have voted than participated in the nomination and second rounds. Anyone have a major objection to this?
-
idc either way, I'll still participate.
-
Leave it as a poll. So what if some people don't want to post or nominate?
Your participation would go up if your second round was by poll, too.
-
Well, BE is cool musically. Haven't heard much Blackfield but it is pretty depressing, but it conveys it very well.
Abstain.
-
Your participation would go up if your second round was by poll, too.
Too much hassle. If someone can't type out a short response because they are afraid people will disagree, their loss.
-

You'd best be getting on that, then.
Meh.
Not big on the whole ridiculously depressing music thing.
BE sucks.
No.
Uh huh! :neverusethis:
-
I think there's nothing wrong with the poll as it is, other than you taking forever with it. People will drop off, but that's life. Best to just keep going. Drawing things out like this and halting it during the weekends is honestly the biggest thing causing me to start losing interest in it.

Hassle? :lol Polls count votes for you and aren't any harder to post in the first place. Maybe you don't want to do it that way, and that's fine, but it is a much easier way of running these kinds of things.
...and I don't think people don't post only because they're afraid of disagreement. I doubt lurkers are simply afraid of their opinion being criticized, they just have a much different relationship with our community than those of us that post regularly.

It would be a hassle to set up votes for first, second, and third place.
