The Purchases Thread

Blitzkrieg · May 23rd, 2006, 09:44 PM

Much like the 'I bought the coolest cd' thread over at the Dungeon/Lord forum, I thought we could have a single on going thread for people to post their hauls and other purchases in. I will start.

Yesterday I bought:

Sepultura - Dante XXI
In Flames - The Jester Race/Black-Ash Inheritance
Kaiser Chiefs - Employment

I look forward to chucking on the new Seps this arvo.

It is so awesome it might just remove your socks and blow them, or something like that

Goreripper · May 24th, 2006, 01:25 AM

My last couple of purchases (as opposed to the free ones I get sent) were:

Ozzy Osbourne - Under Cover
Ruins - Spun Forth as Dark Nets

The Ruins one is awesome. The Ozzy one is OK.

Spiff · May 24th, 2006, 02:27 AM

Last week I bought:

Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime II
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium

Still haven't listened to them yet. Well, I've listened to half of the Ryche one, not da Peps though. I never get time.

Blitzkrieg · May 24th, 2006, 02:37 AM

The first single from Stadium Arcadium is pretty generic crap. It disappointed me, and left me in no hurry to check out the album. I should though, there is rumours they will headline next years Big Day Out.

Not really sure what to make of that. I will listen again.

Spiff · May 24th, 2006, 03:30 AM

I haven't heard the single yet. It seems I never hear new radio-friendly music unless it's covered on Australian Idol.

Blitzkrieg · May 24th, 2006, 04:01 AM

I saw it on Rage. The clip was better than the song.

Goreripper · May 24th, 2006, 04:30 AM

The clip is great.

Winmar · May 24th, 2006, 05:11 AM

Is it the one where they play dress-ups?

I've bought fuck all lately.

Blitzkrieg · May 24th, 2006, 07:03 AM

Thats the one.

After another listen, I did enjoy Dante XXI more. I will listen again tomorrow.

Today I won ebay auctions for:

The Tea Party - Triptych
Kreator - Enemy Of God CD/DVD edition

Southy · May 24th, 2006, 11:19 PM

Got my hands on the Chili Peppers one, it is actually a bloody good album, they cover all the styles they have laid down in 20 years of recording, there is some real shit, but then there is some fucking awesome gear, but I reckon d/load a few tracks before going and spending the dough on a 2 disc album you mightn't listen too

Listening to this now, holy shit I didn't expect the songs from the ep to be so good. I am not the biggest fan of In Flames (besides The Jester Race, which I love) so just thought it was a nice bonus, but it is an awesome bonus. Tacks onto the end of the album very nicely.

Spiff · May 25th, 2006, 02:12 AM

Have you heard Whoracle, Blitzy? Awesome album. Some prefer The Jester Race, but not me.

Blitzkrieg · May 25th, 2006, 02:50 AM

It seemed pale compared to The Jester Race for some reason, but I did enjoy it. Just seemed similar yet inferior or something. I do intend to give it another chance though, because it has the similar sound that I like.

Spiff · May 25th, 2006, 05:02 AM

Tis awesome. Don't worry, you'll come around.

Southy · May 25th, 2006, 05:19 AM

Just got the new Pearl Jam, another band finally back into top form, best album since No Code, might well be the heavist they have done in parts, it is fucking ace

Blitzkrieg · May 25th, 2006, 05:31 AM

The same as RHCP, I saw the clip and the song seemed generic. I haven't heard a Pearl Jam song I liked since Yield came out. Just seems like they burnt out long ago but keep kicking because they can. U2 seem a bit like that at times too.

Goreripper · May 25th, 2006, 05:34 AM

You could use the same argument with most bands that have been around for 20 years really.

Winmar · May 25th, 2006, 08:16 AM

If RHCP could do more funky stuff I'd be more willing to give them a go. Too much of what I hear of them is bland and radio-friendly.

I havne't listened to In Flames for a while. Both Whoracle and The Jester Race are great, with the latter being heavier.

Southy · May 25th, 2006, 05:16 PM

Well both RHCP and Pearl Jam have realeased bloody good albums just a few weeks apart, they may have burnt out a while ago, but in the case of PJ it seems like they have got a bit of the fire back, as for RHCP, I nevr thought they lost it

Blitzkrieg · May 25th, 2006, 10:31 PM

RHCP have had some good stuff here and there. Pearl Jam on the other hand really just seem to be drifting along in first gear. You could say that about many bands that have been around for over 15 years, but not all. I think Maiden are a great example of a band that that doesn't apply to. Dance Of Death is a shit hot album that is on a par with some of their older material. I don't think many would say that about what Pearl Jam have done in more recent times.

Spiff · May 26th, 2006, 02:25 AM

Pearl Jam haven't interested me since their second album. A shame, because Ten is one of my top five albums evah.

Winmar · May 26th, 2006, 07:13 AM

Yeah I'm pretty much in the same camp as Spiffo.

MeKaChrOme · May 26th, 2006, 09:37 PM

I use to love PJ, but after.. yield and no code- they just didn't interest me. Those two albums put me off. The first two albums are still good to listen to.. New one might be interesting..

Whoracle and Jester Race are good, though I prefer JEster. Great album. Didn't mind Colony either, it had its moments.

Picked up Therion's 'Celebrators of Becoming'. Haven't had a chance to go through all the material (4 DVDs), but damn the live show looks and sounds good.

Also picked up Eternal Tears of Sorrow's new album 'Before the Bleeding Sun'. I think it's a pretty good album

Perhaps not as strong as their previous two releases, but still very cool.
