Key Words

[masterworks]

How many times do key words affect your buying trend?
When a review says this or that is just like Riverside, or Porcupine Tree, does the light bulb go off, and you add to cart?

once upon a time ago, "I" bought lps for the album cover; or who guested on the recording.

If I see in a review that a new band/album is similar to others I already like, it certainly gets my attention, but I always do some more thorough investigation before I buy. I've got too long a history of impulse buys I wound up less than happy with in the end.

Well said TC!

I'll second that! Although, I've been pretty lucky with impulse buys. I do appreciate and pay attention to what folks on the forum have to say.

No Doubt...I have tons of Prog. cds I spun once or only got half way thu it & Didnt care for them..... Sometimes I feel that by saying its simular to other artists is a selling tool to buy them......But I have OCD & Attention Deffasite, that I have to by it because I might have all of an artist cds allready & its a automatic purchase... & I get Burned... I stay away from ""Buy or Die'', because thats just A one persons opinion,,,, & that has bit me in the butt many times in the past,,,,,,,,

It didnt matter back then, Because when a new Sabbath or Zepplin lp was out you knew what you were getting..To me IMO prog can variey from one release to another....

I've had some good luck too, although there's still many CDs I spun once or lost interest in and stuck in a drawer, although I'm rediscovering some things again. Its a good way to add to the collection without spending more money.

And I just ordered the new RPWL and Gazpacho, and The RPWL Experience. Hope they prove to be worth it.
