Ahh! Help me decide what NOT to get....

[Azogue]

Well, I have $110 to spend on music, and since this is the last time I'll be allowed to use an american credit card, I have to buy everything I want right now. The only problem is, I exceeded $110 by quite a bit, so I need help to decide which CDs to can...help from friendly, intelligent people...Like YOU

This is what I have so far, and the ones with * next to them are NOT expendable:


MISANTHROPE - Immortal Misanthrope-$12.00
PORCUPINE TREE - Signify*-$12.00 (mp3s don't cut it anymore..and I think I'll get the special extended edition which is $16)
ULVER - Kveldssanger*-$12.00
ULVER - Themes From William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell*-$13.00
MY DYING BRIDE - The Angel And The Dark River DIGIPAK + 4 Bonus Tracks!*-$10.00
IN THE WOODS - Heart Of The Ages-$12.00
IMMORTAL - At The Heart Of Winter -$12.00
NEUROSIS - A Sun That Never Sets -$11.50
WINDIR - 1184 -$12.00
DISSECTION - Storm Of The Light Bane / Where Dead Angels Lie DIGIPAK RE-ISSUE*-$12.00
BURIED DREAMS - Necrosphere*-$10.00
NEGURA BUNGET - 'N Crugu Bradului*-$13.00 (yayz, limited edition)
MOONSORROW - Kivenkantaja-$12.00
NO MAN - Together We're Stranger-$12.00
ARCTURUS - The Sham Mirrors-$11.00
ANTIMATTER - Lights Out-$11.00

TOTAL=$187.50


Anyway, I already have most of these albums on mp3s, but I NEED to get the CDs. The only ones I'm buying on a gut feeling (having not heard ANY songs off those albums) are:
No-man
Arcturus ( )
Windir-1184 (heard samples, actually..and I have Likferd which pwnz0rz)Neurosis
In the woods (I only have Omnio, which is amazing)
Misanthrope (I have 1666..Theatre Bizarre which I love)

So yeah, I know it all depends on taste and music is one of the most beautiful forms of the fine arts because of its subjectivity and blah blah blah...but just tell me which ones YOU would ditch.

Thanks in advance.

 

[FuckinShit]

great cd's, though MISANTHROPE is really not my thing...

I hope they got another copy of In The Woods...:\

 

[Thorns of Sorrow]

Get the new double CD Porcupine Tree album "Stars Die: The Delerium Years" Best God Damn album, ever.

Switch "A Sun that Never Sets" with "Times of Grace" hehe, you can thank me later

 

[FuckinShit]

Switch "A Sun that Never Sets" with "Times of Grace" hehe, you can thank me later

yep, agreed...

 

[sicfakr]

most of them are really good, the others I haven't heard. Get more PT cd's

 

[Azogue]

gracias.

And I think I'll ditch Misanthrope...but still, I'm gonna bump this.

Also, tell me what NOT to get...replacing X cd with X cd still leaves me out of money!

 

[Azogue]

no?

 

[Hopkins-WitchfinderGeneral]

Immortal - i think they're really overrated personally. *waits for flamage*

 

[Demonspell]

I'd say Misanthrope, although I'm not familiar with them...I need to hear more Windir...and do not dump the Moonsorrow, Arcturus, or Antimatter under any circumstances.

 

[Azogue]

I'd appreciate more input....damnit.

By the way, what do you people think of the *other* Moonsorrow album? the one previous to Kivenkantaja? I've only heard Kivenkantaja and I am in absolute awe of it, but I wanna know about the other one...

Oh, and what about that In the Woods album? How good is it? Like I said, I have Omnio and I *love* it, but I hear this is a very different style...

Also, do you guys know of a better website to get music from? I'm getting all of these from The End records (of course) and they have REALLY reasonable prices, but do you know of any other mail order store that can compete with those prices? Ebay doesn't count.

 

[Parasite]

I really hate Arcturus, so my vote goes to that, and I didn't enjoy the Antimatter album either.

Maybe just get 1 Ulver disc, to keep the variation.

Buy *****NEUROSIS - A Sun That Never Sets***** AT ALL COST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To me, It's the greatest album EVER recorded. Anyway, Neurosis isn't for anyone, check out some songs before; try: From The Hill. Far from being the best track, I think it's representation of Neurosis mantra like vibe. If you don't like this one, try out the title track...if you don't like it either, don't buy it.


I also would pick:
Signify
Kveldssanger
Themes From William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
The Angel And The Dark River DIGIPAK
Heart Of The Ages
The Sham Mirrors
Lights Out

No. Although, ToG is by second fav. album behind ASTNS.

 

[Sóti]

make sure to get moonsorrow and windir!

 

[Smitty]

Don't buy Misanthrope, Immortal, or Antimatter.

 

[IanDork107]

Keep the Misanthrope. Awesome CD. Also, get Likferd by Windir, much much better than 1184. Get rid of buried dreams, immortal, neurosis, and kveldssanger from ulver.

 

[IanDork107]

Also, the In The Woods is nowhere near as good as Omnio, so i'd say it's a tough call whether you should get it or not, and the new Antimatter is only decent, maybe not worth buying.

 

[Cows on million man march]

ide say get rid of misanthrope and anitmatter.

 

[Azogue]

Hmm......so far, I think I will lose:
Misanthrope (Maybe...I really don't want to though)
Immortal
Windir (I already have Likferd which is awesome)
Antimatter
one Ulver album...

I *have* to get Buried Dreams because of very specific (and boring) reasons.

and Ian, give a damn slot in the hub...you're pretty much the only one who has all Misanthrope albums...I get my PC back till monday though <_<

Thanks for all the help though, I respect all of you people's opinions and some of you seem to have exceptional taste in music (or at least similar to mine ) so I'm glad I started this thread.

:Spin:

Misanthrope better than Neurosis?
