ANNOUNCEMENT: Results of the /r/DSBM best of 2018 poll!

Well, the poll has been open for a month now. I had kept it open for quite a bit longer than I had planned in hopes that a tie in the second question would have been broken, but a three-way tie remained. We had a total of 22 unique responses, and got quite a variety of diverse opinions.

For conciseness, I have omitted albums with 1 or 0 votes. Charts of full responses will be posted as well, although they are pretty frustrating to read, which is what led to me typing this out in the first place. Tied albums are listed in alphabetical order by the artist's name.

So with all of that data, I think it's safe to say that the split Children of the Night by Psychonaut 4 and Nocturnal Depression is this community's favorite release of 2018!
