Your latest CD purchases?

Another Prick in the Wall (A tribute to Ministry)

Not all songs on this album are gems, but there about 3 good ones that make the CD worth the purchase.

Dimmu Borgir are amazing musicians. You should listen to their latest album a few times. Just awsome music.

Other than Nick, there is very little talant there. For All Tid was godly, but moreso because it was second generation black metal, back when black metal was about feeling and atmosphere.

There is far too much crap out there nowadays... although, many bands are making excellent music and have excellent production (Dimmu's last couple albums had great production, I think). Mayhem is a prime example. I am not really a fan of Grand Declaration, but it is a great album nonetheless.

OK

so if I was to give these guys another chance, what is a kick ass album you'd recommend (if this album also sucks I will place Iced Earth on my "sucks" list).

thanks

Honestly, the album does not suck. It's just that I often define a band by their singer, and Barlow was godly. I placed him under Bruce, Eric Adams, and Kiske for one of the best metal voices (or, at least, my favourite) of all time. [Although I don't think anyone can top Bruce's human air raid siren or Adam's power, like in Nessun Dorma]

I think The Dark Saga was one of their best albums, followed up by Burnt Offerings and Something Wicked. I don't know why, but the song A Question Of Heaven is one of my favorite songs from them... akin to Manowar's Master Of The Wind.

Very cool album. "As I Lie Here Bleeding" is such a badass song.

How is "In Search of Truth?" I can never find any other Evergrey albums around, but I saw this one once at Tower Records recently. If it wasn't for the exorbitant pricetag, I'd have gotten it.

wow, thats alot of purchases
 
What can I say, it's a sickness. Plus the stuff I buy I generally want the whole disc and notes.
 
A lot of album art nowadays is pretty awesome. Anything on Deathwish, Robotic Empire, or Hydra Head has badass packaging.

In Search of Truth is cool. It's not as melodic, overall, as Recreation Day, imo. Still, it's a very good cd. It's a concept album, with a common thread throughout the songs. Sort of X-files/ish. "Masterplan" rocks. :)

Their new album, "The Inner Circle", is due to be released in a couple of weeks or so. They're using a symphony (can't remeber who...heh), on the cd this time around. Sounds pretty interesting.

Geez, since I found out about MP3's and CDRW's, I haven't bought a CD in some time. The last CD I bought was the soundtrack to Rocky IV (used as well :D)

What happened to them...

Seemed like they were going somewhere.

I doubt it. They had huge airplay from the one song, "Get Away." Then they disappeared. I'm not surprised. Happens to most nu-metal these days. Seems to be a dying genre.
 
I'm gonna post this a day early.

Black Label Society - Hangover Music Vol. 6
 
Antrax - Music of Mass Destruction cd/dvd

I bought that CD the day it came out. I think I listened to it once. They put on a good live show though.

I'd never heard them before when I picked it up.

Everyone in the band sings. Clean and death vocals. Ya gotta like harmonized death growls. hehe Everyone in the band is a first rate musician. Songs take some interesting twists and turns.

I just checked their website and it turns out they were here a couple months ago. Too bad I never knew 'bout them earlier. Fuck.

Yeah, I read something that described them as "death metal successfully blended with Dream Theater," or something along those lines.

Bro, check out Evergrey's "In Search of Truth" and "Solitude, Dominance, Tragedy" cd's if you haven't already. I can't stop listening to either one since I picked them up. I love Recreation Day and Inner Circle, but seem to enjoy the two I mentioned even more.

My latest purchase was Pain of Salvation~Remedy Lane
 
Thanks for the tip c, I'll put them on my list. I really like the two that I have. Kinda reminds me of the good ole days.

And I'll post these up a day early:

Killswitch Engage - "The End of Heartache"
Judas Priest - "Metalogy" box set
 
These will be in my possession around 6:30 or so:

Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache.
Demon Hunter - Summer of Darkness
 
Patti Griffin -- Impossible Dream
Talking Heads -- Speaking in Tongues
(Maj got me the Once in a Lifetime box set for Mother's Day)
R. Carlos Nakai -- Earth Music
 
Arch Enemy - Black Earth
Kreator - Live Kreation
Evergrey - Solitude,Dominance,Tragedy
Death Angel - The Art of Dying
Amon Amarth - Versus the World
Byzantine - The Fundamental Component

I'm out of control! These bring my collection to 595 discs. 71 more to the magic number.
 
Kreator is awesome powerslave!

My purchases today were Anthrax "We've come for you all", Opeth "Deliverance", Metallica "Master of Puppets". I also got a mp3 clip and software so I don't have to deal with all the cd's etc. at the gym, like I have been.
 
All That Remains - This Darkened Heart
Katatonia - Viva Emtiness
Carnal Forge - The More You Suffer
Nocturnal Rites - New World Messiah


I need to go online. I can't find anything by a band called Beyond the Embrace.
 
This week: Tal Farlow "The Swinging Guitar of" and "Tal Farlow's finest hour", as well as Wes Montgomery "Smoking at the Half Note" and Barney Kessel "The Artistry of"

The ever popular change of pace, yes.

I was at the local store this weekend and found their newer one. Wasn't in the mood to buy it though. Heh.

Maybe I'll go back this week or next and get it, if I feel the urge.
 
killswitch egage - end of the heartache (damn good cd)
in flames - reroute to remain (not near as good as soundtrack to your escape)
 
let me know how destroyer is from zero, almost bought that one.

Surprised no one has mentioned the new slipknot at all. it's interesting . . .

powerslave -- good call on the children of bodom :devil:

I'm always stunned how many people like killswitch -- to me they're so soft that they belong at lollapalooza or an amy grant spectacular more than they belong at say ozzfest. Then again, I hate christian rock on principle.

Better than I thought it'd be. Kinda like ... thrashy death metal. The production could be better, but, it sounds decent. For $3.99, it's a winner. :)
 
shit from zero, at that price, I'd buy a barry manilow disc. You could always smash it with a hammer when you're high just for fun. That'd be worth 4 bucks alone :)
 
I've seen that Destryoer 666 disc so many times. I've never heard anything by them so I always passed it up.

Is Killswitch a "christian" band? Never heard that before.

I dig everything out of my last purchase post. All good stuff.
 
killswitch is christian rock?

i don't get that from them. i don't see it in the lyrics, although for all the screamin the lyrics are often pretty "bright and happy" i guess you could say.

either way i still like their music.

i got a burned copy of the new slipknot. other than the "slow" songs and duality, i pretty much hate the rest of the cd. i won't be buying it.
 
other cds i burned lately:

lacuna coil - comalies (cristina scabbia is hot as hell and this band blows evanescence away. i usually don't dig chick singers, but the combo of the male and female vocals with the goth metal music is actually pretty good.)

flaw - endagered species (a few good tracks, but some pretty mediocore or downright bad ones too)

fear factory - archetype (don't like it, maybe only 2 songs i like)

drowning pool - desensitized (nothing special, but a cd i can listen to on occasion)

a perfect circle - mer de noms (haven't listen to it yet)

Check out The Gathering.

Killswitch Engage is not a Christian band unless they've said differently in interviews since Jesse left. They just have positive lyrics.
 
yeah positive lyrics about a deity who sacrificed his son for you . . . . sounds christian to me, they're just being coy/cool, as they also had all those crosses in the early photos. It's actually gotten a lot better - more emotional about other topics - since jesse left. I was wondering if you could shed some light on that, Flah, the appearance of liberalism that's creeping in to their music. Maybe they're just growing up, and broadening their lyrical skills.

Howard is a better writer then Jesse was. Jesse was the religious influence of the band being the "son of a preacher man!" and all that.

I don't really pay attention to the lyrics unless they are awesome or suck really hard and KsE is kind of middle ground.

i agree. howard jones is definitely a step up lyrically. vocally i can't decide which i like better. jesse probably has the better singing voice, but i think they're about even when it comes to screaming. i may even have to give howard the edge in that. all in all, they definitely got a damn good replacement for jesse.
 
picked up some cd's today

1. dream theater - train of thought
2. iced earth - the glorious burden (w/ the bonus tracks)

3. motograter (i kept hearing comparisons with mudvayne, and while these guys are decent, they shouldn't be compared to mudvayne, other than the face paint, which, wisely, mudvayne has dropped).

4. crossfade (i really should ignore the music reviews on cdnow.com from now on. i've only listened the first couple songs, this sounds like 90% of the shit on the radio. and for some reason i was under the impression they were heavier than they are. my mistake i guess.)

I have Insect Song. It's a good album. Mixing/production could have been a bit better (they have 3 guitarists ... sometimes it's tough to hear the leads shine like they should. The vocals are overpowering too in some points). Otherwise, it's a solid release.
 
Awaiting the arrival of

Avenged Sevenfold - Sounding the Seventh Trumpet

at my local store. I hope it's there soon. I ordered it last Saturday ....
 
beyond the embrace for me too -- I think it's outstanding. Fantastic skills.

Also lettuce "outta here" and soulive "vol 2 and 3"

May look at "at the gates" since i like beyond the embrace so much.

I really like Beyond the Embrace. I think "Against the Elements" is the better of the two discs, but both are very good. Like From Zero had said, the production could be a bit better on "Insect Song", but it's really not that bad. It doesn't however do the guitar work justice. I saw them live this past weekend with Trivium and Iced Earth, and they were damn good live. Not as amazing as Iced Earth, but very good nonetheless. Seeing them live I got to hear the guitars shine, and the vocals were great too - blended perfectly with the music without being overpowering.
 
I like the At the gates "slaughter of the soul" I got even more. Awesome.

"Against the elements" is the b.t.e album I have. I don't have insect song yet. I love elements, though. I don't like the bits I've heard of insect for some reason. I can only believe how tight they are live. I've heard good things about that iced earth show. . . .

Good pick up. You said it "that is death metal". Love the song Unas Slayer of the Gods.
 
young guns, how you liking Kalmah? I must say that I do enjoy it.

Another nice pick up majutsu, you're on a streak.

Today I was running errands and I saw a guy wearing a Deicide shirt. So I walked up and started to try and talk metal with him. He looks down and sees that I'm wearing a Foo Fighter shirt and scoffs.

Note to self: Don't talk metal on laundry day.

It's definitely a good CD. My only complaint is that sometimes it's a little hard to hear the vocals. But overall it was a good buy. I may have to pick up "They Will Return" and "Swamplord" sometime soon.

Do you have either of the other discs? If so, how do they compare to "Swampsong"?
