This is the thread that Tony R opened in the Collab section, open for all collabs and reviewers.

wow I was totally remiss in my voting for this. Sorry about that, and I'll definitely start writing more reveiws.
Anyway, I'd go for:
The Pax Cecilia - Blessed are the Bonds
Grayceon
Porcupine Tree - Nil Recurring (FOABP wasn't very good at all IMO)
Oceansize - Frames
as a top 4 off the top of my head.

Not a bad list for some. Of course, I don't like Modern Rock so Rush and PT's presence in the top ten doesn't do much for me - I had hoped that SGM's album would make the top ten (twelve just isn't enough acclaim!) because it's far more *special* than a lot of "just another polished rock CD" releases by the huge name bands. Seriously, it's wonderful! I wasn't a fan of the first two but "In Glorious Times" is really mature, dark and deep. ;P
(and it looks like I was right about not needing to vote for Comicopera!)
Either way, the tables have turned on the people who voted in Kayo Dot's album as number one, last year, haven't they. ;)

The problem that many collabs didn't voted was that the voting thread was placed in the wrong collab forum. Plus it wasn't even a sticky when it first appeared!

Perhaps you could update the list with your choices (if you see how it was calculated).

No no no, you should have! It's only joint second, so it would have been nice to see it in second outright.

Predictable list with no surprises except maybe Battles. Would have loved to have seen some more interesting bands at the top e.g. Zorn, Rosetta, Wolves In The Throne Room, Behold The Arctopus. Guess this is wishful thinking though.
Nice to see Sleepytime Gorilla Museum high though.

Nice list, love to see Comicopera and A Time of Day in the Top 5, sadly my number 1 which was Outer Limits - Stromatolite didn`t receive other votes, neither did Phlox`s album, and Mar de Robles was so low after all, i was one of the people who gave an honourable mention to Gazpacho`s album, it is really a pity to see it did not receive a single vote!!
FOABP is a very good album, but i would have liked to see another one as the winner.

I can't understand why you guys want a re-vote.Because you don't like the bands that placed so high?
And for all the Collabs who didn't vote,the thread was there for a long time.

Actually yes, it was there for a couple of months at least, if only Cesar Inca would have voted, Stromatolite would have ranked higher

I have not heard either and am not particularly interested in listening to them. More into the modern experimental stuff. Why, were they unexpected? IF so then good.

It amuses me how some people take these things so personally. It's just a snapshot of opinion. Many of us haven't even heard much of the stuff that ranked high. Anyway, the best time to evaluate a year in music isn't right after it's concluded. It's a fun little exercise though and an opportunity for discovery as well...

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

There are a few albums that I think would have done much better, had more people heard them. So, I highly recommend checking out these titles.
Neverness - Cuentos de Otros Mundos Posibles
Tony Levin - Stick Man
Cathedral - The Bridge
Lobster Newberg - Vernal Eqinox
Cosmic Nomads - Vultress

Some of Comicopera is modern experimental (especially the Eno-isms), but not all of it. It's a wonderful album indeed.
