    Any ideas, Mods?

    Not displaying for me on my mobile either. I'd guess the apostrophe in the first and the accent in the 3rd are causing issues with the touch site?

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Possibly. If you can Edit 1 & 3 when you get a chance that would be great. :)

    1 & 3 are not showing on the touch site but are when you got to the full site, even on mobile. Seems to be a quirk of the touch site that an edit won't fix.

    If you wish to vote and are using the touch site, scroll down to the bottom and hit full site and then you can vote. Scroll back down to the bottom when you're done and hit touch site to bring you back to the touch site.

    Has to be Estron for me, immense, homegrown, dirty, heavy, rock.

    Voted Mastodon. But my album of the year has to be Machine Head - Bloodstone and Diamonds. I know it didnt make the cut, but I loved that album

    It's shaping up nicely with Mastodon currently leading the way and Behemoth in the runner up spot.

    I would suggest removing the accents from the band name and title in Solstafir and also the apostrophe before "Round" in Mastodon's listing to fix the display problems some people seem to be having.

    Definitely two great albums.

    I was kinda out of the loop this year about upcoming releases and was pleasantly surprised when I got around to checking out the likes of The Satanist, Foundations of Burden and Once More Round the Sun.

    Ended up being a good year for new releases

    I'm pleased to see Distant Satellites by Anathema get recognition. The Lost Song Pt 2 was maybe my favourite song of 2014.

    Take Shelter is possibly mine. Must get up to the Academy gig.

    Not quite sure I'm fully recovered from my last six-hours-on-a-bus (and thrown out in the middle of nowhere with no public transport -- thanks, water protesters), but this sounds like a rather interesting prospect. Sort of a reunion/retrospective thingie, if I'm reading it right? Could be quite the wackily diverse setlist...

    Yeah the trek up is awkward to say the least, but it can be worth it. A cool retrospective alright, will go back through all their albums, and have two former members taking part too. I do mainly prefer the later stuff though.
