[dorian gray]

definitely dream theater and megadeth. i loathe the thought of actually buying another one of their albums.

edit: and rush. i bought "feedback" but havent bought an original album since "counterparts" or something.

 

[NAD]

Type O Negative
Primus

BLASPHEMER!!! in other words, i really liked both band's latest offerings.

Hypocrisy. they just bore me now, sorta sucks.
Opeth, because i'm not a big of a fan as i used to be.

i think that's it.

yes to DT.
"Feedback" was an enjoyable EP but certainly not where they are at right now.

I guarantee you would enjoy the Rush in Rio DVD.

 

[Henrik Main]

Nile
Decapitated

 

[Ellestin]

Opeth
Solefald
Arcturus
Emperor

 

[Chromatose]

so did I, GREAT albums

however I'm still bitter, I hold a grudge

Type O - Ever since World Coming Down, I worry that Pete will be once again be a queer and pull some shit out of his ass just because he can

Primus - Punchbowl, yeah, great, but kinda a let down, Brown Album... ehh let me down a little more, but still good I guess, then Antipop, ugh.. so yeah they've redeemed themselves again with the EP and all... but as I said, still holding a grudge for that series of declining quality


edit: come to think of it, Primus has redeemed themselves, just since they're back with Herb, and whatever they do next I WILL buy unheard.. I'm just a bit leary on non-primus Les projects these days

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Dream Theater
Nevermore
Iced Earth

 

[Crimson Velvet]

In Flames (although that quickly stopped with Clayman)
Dissection (then I heard the samples )
Burzum (until I heard his first ambient offering. He's back on the list now, though!)
Opeth (until Blackwater Park)
Slayer
Katatonia (until Viva Emptiness)

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

In Flames
Arch Enemy
Queensryche
Slayer
Britney Spears
Hammerfall
Blind Guardian

 

[AsModEe]

In Flames

Slayer
Britney Spears

someone doesn't belong in there!

edit: the answer is hammerfall

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

lollerz

 

[AsModEe]

yes, hammerfall has always sucked. Britney too, but we're not talking about the same type of suckage.

Nevermore is probably the last one I would buy blind, but I still usually download those 'cause I can't wait to hear them. Maybe Primus, too. And anything with Ron Jarzombek is a blind buy. I'd say Bobby, too, but he's been in too many bands that don't let him show off enough

Recently axed:
Flotsam and Jetsam (probably should've axed them a few releases ago, but I still bought the new one blind)
Zero Hour (after the new one, I'll want to hear the next one before buying)
Dream Theater (after Train of Thought, I would no longer buy them blind, but I'll probably still get Octavarium anyway)

There are probably more, but I'm too tired to think clearly.

 

[Six-winged Seraph]

Opeth post BWP
Katatonia - didn't like VE
Arcturus - not fond of SS

 

[dorian gray]
