The results are in for your fave albums from 1998<\/strong>. Get in and get mad about it here.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A few months 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

The major differences between the polling this time around were that The Chasm<\/strong>, Incantation<\/strong>, and especially Dawn<\/strong> would have fared much better had Facebook voters been in charge, whereas Crowbar<\/strong>, Massive Attack<\/strong>, and Fear Factory<\/strong> would have performed better if the Disqus crowd were the arbiters of art.<\/p>\n
