Hmm, I am quite underwhelmed by this, the initial single (that wasn't on the album) was such a wild experimental piece, then the singles were fairly standard, and the album is much worse than Underside of Power imo, but it still has some brilliant moments such as Nothing Bloomed so there's that. Safe to say this went from a potential AOTM to something I will rarely get back to. EDIT: I just realized Void is a 7" single and Nothing Bloomed is the closer, makes so much sense...

Well Slipknot and BMTH were gonna be in the lead from the start but at least I could call Slipknot's album great while Amo has to be BMTH's lowest point, even the recent mixtape is better if you trim some of its fat. Sleeptalk making it in the final vote still blows my mind and Alien is my personal metalcore AOTY but oh well. So many people whining about WANYK/Amo being in the lead but it doesn't take a genius to realize why that is: The only way you could remove popularity bias is by having people rate each album on a certain scale and then have some sort of miniscule factor of popularity also come in play so that an album that has a 9.0/10 rating by 5 people doesn't win over an 8.5/10 rated album by 500 people. Other sites have done it, it works, usually. Also you should only let people rate the album they vote as AOTY so they couldn't "rate bomb" others with 0-1s as history tells this has been done by many juvenile fandoms of various mediums (such as superhero movies, kpop, other bullshit). EDIT: I have just realized that my system is fucking stupid because then everyone will just rate their pick 10/10 and it'll be the same thing all over again lmao. I guess you could try some sort of ranking system so everyone has to at least check out the top 4-10 finalists and rank them in order..? So even if someone comes to vote for Slipknot they could at least TRY to give the other albums a chance and maybe if enough people thought the overwhelming number 2-3 pick was great but wasn't certain groups' first choice it should still be worthy of AOTY as a whole? It's really not that hard to sit through 4 albums in a week, especially when they're considered THE BEST ALBUMS THE YEAR HAD TO OFFER...

Can you explain exactly what you mean by "off the Giver page for yikes sake"? because I have no clue what you're talking about there, I literally just felt like at least a few of their MVs are going for that mood and so is the new album artwork and wanted to say that I like that pre-ww2 cinema vibe it gives off, but that I don't enjoy the music and you go on rambling on about something completely random..? I don't understand where I went wrong for saying that.

looking at their artworks and music videos you can tell they're hugely into that 1910-1940 (ballpark) big mood, great aesthetic, but sound's not doing anything to me.

omg omg omg their 2018 EP had such potential. The whole second half of this song is incredible. BRING ON THE ALBUM.

Single is mad good, HOLY ROAR is usually mad good anyways, time to download.

That middle section is so sick tho

Oh man this definitely has some solid earlier material vibes all over this, crazy how even 10 years later the vocalist still manages to make me feel shit with his vocal melodies. Not the best drum sound but it's alright.

Singles were a mixed bag but I hope the full thing delivers, Underside of Power was bomb af.

yeah bet you like daddy calling you names you dirty slut

Great idea!

Nice TTS

Very beautiful desu

They had a fairly solid thing going in 2010-2014 but they overplayed it to death and their songs became one and the same, especially the way Ahren is written around them, just straight up copypasted, but somehow it's still working out for them lol

Not bad, choruses are kinda bringing this down, but his unclean vocal range is really good and when this shit goes in, it goes in HARD.

Bruh is this band's material about post-nut clarity?

Is the artist not called Panda Rosa?

This new era of AOF is so good, Familiar Drugs and this especially. So fucking hyped for the rest.
