Albums currently kicking your ass

Shit, total coincidence that I was playing Bile and then these guys!

Should I grab this one on a blind buy?

Only ever blind buy shit that's cheap, otherwise preview it. You might hate it.

Fine be that way.

I blind buy once in a while. Sometimes I am surprised but most times underwhelmed so I stopped doing it frequently.

I blind buy a bunch of CDs, especially the ones that get heaps of praise. It forces you to give the albums multiple listens instead of simply writing the music off based on a cursory YouTube glance.

Love the Tortured Existence demo but never heard this comp, will check out, thanks

Its the Tortured Existence demo + Stroke of Death demo when they went by the name No Remorse.

Wytch Hazel - II: Sojourn

This is turning out to be a great year. I've found maybe 5 albums so far I like more than anything from 2017. This is probably gonna be one of them.

Wytch Hazel - II: Sojourn

Maybe it's the booze talking, but right now this is giving me epiphanies.

I feel like blind buying for me has become basically meaningless. I feel like it's very easy to estimate the quality of something going solely based on the LP/CD packaging.

First two albums are fucking savage. 3rd album is ehh. After that yuck. Not sure I'm looking forward to a new album from them.

Absolutely agree about the first 2, classics in my book. Like the 3rd album a lot too. Never heard anything beyond that. A new album?! Can't believe these guys are still around.

Don't think anything has leaked yet, but it's their first new shit since like '05.

Ataraxy - Where All Hope Fades

I do love me some explicit philosophical pessimism in my music.

I've found many gems that way. Combined with word of mouth it's a pretty sound risk.
