Latest CD you bought...

[Powerray]

Let me know how Pathfinder is, Powerray - I heard a couple songs and they blew me away!

For a new band it's a killer album and an ace production ! Reminds me a bit of Kamelot (fourth legacy-karma-epica period) mixed with Rhapsody etc

 

[Gibbon]

Was going to post in the WMYHT thread but might be to derail that thread so will post here instead

Just got:

TYR - The Lay of Thrym(boxset + flag edition)

Alestorm - Back Through Time(Boxset + pendant)

Going to listen them through later, this will just be too damn awesome!

 

[Symphony]

Pre-ordered the new Journey album "Eclipse"

Also ordered a replacement copy of Crimson Glory's "Transcendence" and finally got round to ordering the latest Vicious Rumors "Razorback Killers"

[Kingface]

Pre-Ordered:

Symphony X - Iconoclast (Limited 2-Disc Edition)

 

[Blinded No More]

I bought Sonata Arctica's "Silence" and I will be reserving ReinXeed's "1912".

 

[Gibbon]

Yea don't think it is, but napalm records sent them early, don't know why.

 

[Kingface]

You're lucky! I got an email from Napalm today saying my copy will be despatched on Monday!

 

[1928]

Ahh I want Alestorm, Tyr, and the new Rhapsody so badly... looks like my wallet's gonna take a hit soon because I really want that 3-CD set of From Chaos to Eternity!

 

[Cronopio]

Sonata Arctica's "Silence

Excellent, excellent album. Good choice!

My copy of the new ReinXeed album was apparently shipped today! Hopefully it'll get here faster than Blood Alliance ...

Thanks! I'm trying to get all the Sonata albums, the time I went to Disc Exchange before that I found Ecliptica, and this time I managed to find Silence. Now all I need is Winterheart's Guild, Unia, and Days Of Grays. (Not counting the Songs Of Silence live album and the greatest hits CDs.)

All the CDs I've bought within the past few months:

Power Quest's "Blood Alliance"
Sonata Arctica's "Ecliptica" and "Silence"
Stratovarius's "Infinite", but I ended up returning this one to get Silence
Theocracy's "Mirror Of Souls"

 

[Powerray]

Freedom Call - Live in Hellvetia dvd+cd pack

 

[1928]

Stratovarius's "Infinite", but I ended up returning this one to get Silence

Infinite is one of the best power metal albums ever! You go and get that back right now

 

[Powerray]

Infinite is one of the best power metal albums ever! You go and get that back right now

indeed ! Freedom is a killer song !

 

[Blinded No More]

I thought it was OK, but the only 3 songs on it that I found worth listening to again were Hunting High And Low, Freedom, and Celestial Dream, the rest of the songs were monotonous and dragged on longer than they should have.

 

[1928]

Oh man, that's a shame. The album took some time to grow on me, namely the songs Mother Gaia and Infinity (used to hate them for the longest time), but at least you liked Hunting High and Low - that's one of the best power metal songs ever. Out of curiosity, do you have any other Strato albums? They're probably my favorite metal band of all time, so I'm curious about people's interest in them

Nope, I traded in both of them (the other was the self-titled black album uke

 

[1928]

Oh no, that's one of their worst rated albums! I bet you'd like Episode or Visions...

 

[Blinded No More]

I agree with you on the black album, it seemed uninspired and insanely repetitive. If I had a nickel for everytime he said "zenith of power" I would have $9001.

I may give Stratovarius another chance. I'll have to listen to Episode/Visions on YouTube/Grooveshark before I even consider buying, though.

 

[1928]

Zenith of power! You have to hear Father Time and Black Diamond, the two 'smash hits' off of Episode and Visions respectively!
