Haulage - this time I've gone too far

[Spiff]

I've hauled quite a few times before, but this is the first time I've felt bad about it. Not just because I was going to buy Christmas presents and instead bought lots of stuff for myself, but because I've been trying real hard to pay off my credit card and then I go and chuck more stuff on it.

I was just planning on buying the first two items on the list, but it got worse...

CDs
Casey Donovan, "For You"
Pantera, "Cowboys From Hell"
Jon Oliva's Pain, "Tage Mahal"
Pain of Salvation, "Be"
Anthrax, "The Greater of Two Evils"

DVDs
Sarah McLachlan, "Afterglow Live"
John Saffran vs God
Lantana
CNNNN
The Games

I NEVER buy that much. I spent more than $200. I'm disgusted with myself. But I'm sure I'll get over it.

I didn't think much of "'Tage Mahal". 'Lantana' is good! Great movie.

 

[Spiff]

Yeah, Lantana has been on the buy list for ages. Top movie, that.

I had a feeling Tage Mahal might be a bit of a dud, but I'm a big Oliva fan so I had to get it sooner or later.

The Anthrax CD is decent.. not as good as I first thought, but still ok.
More than anything it has reminded me that Anthrax has a bunch of really shit songs which the fans think are really good. ie, Indians.

 

[Goreripper]

Since they've become a groove-metal band, I've liked them a whole lot more, actually.

 

[Spiff]

I always preferred the Joey days, personally. Most of their stuff with John Bush is very samey IMO, except for Sound of White Noise and We've Come For You All which are both top albums... but I grew up on earlier Anthrax.

 

[Goreripper]

And I never really got into Anthrax much until I saw them live with Bush. Before that I thought they were ok, but Joey's whiny voice annoyed me.

 

[Spiff]

First Anthrax I think I ever heard was the Antisocial EP. Top stuff, that.

 

[Goreripper]

Heh. A cover. Great tune tho.

 

[Southy]

I have always preferred John Bush, Joey always stuck me as a fuckwit

 

[Spruce Goose]

Just here to post my obligatory for Pain of Salvation

As I've said before... BE takes quite a few spins to start getting into (As with most POS albums)... But there are some fuckin unreal songs on that disc!

 

[Spiff]

I knew you would say that.

What's Casey Donovan's album like?
