The results are in for your fave albums from 2007. Get in and get mad about it here.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago we decided to take a look back at the years before the site existed to see what you flushers deemed to be the top metal albums from that accursed time. Starting with 2013<\/a>, we polled across both the Toilet ov Hell Social Club<\/a> and through Disqus, which led to some fairly similar results overall with a few albums only making an appearance on one of the forums. However, using an advanced technique I’ve dubbed Social Media Ranking Tyranny<\/strong> (SMRT<\/a>), the discrepancies between the two have been ironed-out and a definitive ‘best of’ list has been extrapolated.<\/p>\n

Why didn’t we just use the results from one platform<\/em>?
\nI started this in our fb group for a bit of fun, not thinking it would evolve into blog content. Mainly though, it’s due to a reasonable proportion of our community using fb but not disqus, while some use disqus but not fb.<\/p>\n

Why didn’t we just tally the total number of votes<\/em>?
\nA fair number of people also use both<\/strong> platforms, so if we used this method the results would skew harder towards their faves as they’d effectively have had double the votes relative to others.<\/p>\n

So in the end we had to devise a fairer system which relied predominantly on a ranked average position across both lists. Make sure you shit your pants over it though, it’s very important stuff.<\/p>\n

As with our previous polls there were some notable omissions which polled well on one platform but not on the other. Neurosis<\/strong>, The Red Chord<\/strong>, Rotting Christ<\/strong>, and Ulcerate<\/strong> did well on Disqus but not so much on Facebook. Whereas the opposite was true for Devin Townsend<\/strong>, Ulver<\/strong>, Ensiferum<\/strong>, and Dark Tranquility<\/strong>. You’ll also notice this time we scaled up from a Top 15 to a Top 20<\/strong>. This was due to the sheer number of ties, and I’d rather just add 5 spots than do more fucking maths.<\/p>\n

\n

So here are your top records across platform for 2007<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
