Albums currently kicking your ass

[Lateralus14]

I never use anything else any more.

 

[Vamos]

Yeah Soulseek is really good for finding very obscure and hard to find stuff.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I've never figured out how to get people to allow me to download their shit through SoulSeek. I still get by with blogs and a few other sources well enough, although there are definitely some demos and things that I can't find. Although IIRC for those of us too computer illiterate to set up a proxy or tor network, there's also the concern of having your IP out in the open as you offer stuff for download.

 

[Podgie]

I just downloaded it, went on there, downloaded the Revenant demos and EPs and a few random Toxik tracks I couldn't find elsewhere, then it popped up and said "you need to share something or you could be banned" - I uploaded some random album from My Music and that was it... Downloaded the Children album tonight and haven't had any bother. I know nothing of proxies or tor networks and what not.

You need to share your music too, it doesn't matters if no one is downloading it as long as you are sharing. Otherwise, if they see you are not sharing anything, they will block you from downloading their files.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I just downloaded the program and I think I managed to upload something (although for some reason I can only see the first thing I uploaded, and no later albums/demos; oh well I'll figure it out). One person has me on queue but it appears that there's at least a set position, and another is letting me download a demo (at 6kbps but I'm patient). It doesn't look as public as I remember it being; maybe I've superimposed my memories of using torrents a decade ago onto SoulSeek.

Thanks for the tips/words of encouragement.

 

[Baroque]

I may try it out for the super hard to find stuff from the 80's and whatnot. But for readily available things like that Children album (seriously it's $2.99 on amazon) you really should pay for that. It came out 4 years ago, it's cheap, it's not hard to find. If you don't have 2.99 how do you eat?

 

[Podgie]

Well first of all how I live/eat is non of your business, nor is what YOU think I 'should' be paying for... but yeah, I don't pay for digital downloads, regardless of the price. I'll buy the CD or vinyl at some point.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Same here, wouldn't spend a cent on digital downloads.

And it's not like Podgies awesome vinyl collection was free.

 

[Baroque]

The 2.99 is not for digital downloads. It's for the CD.

 

[Podgie]

Great, thanks for the heads up man.

 

[Draehl]

Fyrnask's Eldir Nott... intro/first track is amazing. Theres a few moments of dissonance that doesn't quite fit with the rest of the album, but other than that it's pretty amazing. I'd have to go 4.5+/5

 

[EspaDa]

Perfect, just like Enemy of God.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... i love that cover art.

 

[Onder]

Current Kreator output is just sad.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... actually, their last album wasn't bad at all, really opened up to me after a few spins.

 

[Podgie]

I fucking love Phantom Antichrist! Don't care if that makes me uncool or not.

 

[zerostatic]

Count me as another that enjoyed Kreator's last album. It is probably the album from 2012 that I have replayed the most this year.

Looking forward to seeing Havok tonight with Soulfly. I might duck out during Soulfly...depends if they start playing Sepultura covers again.

 

[Podgie]

It is probably the album from 2012 that I have replayed the most this year.

Same here, I think!

 

[Vamos]

Been reliving their whole discography over the weekend, currently on this album.
