Now I've got the bastard package open...

[Wrathchild]

New Demons and Wizards rocks like few hath rocked before. I've had it on saturation play for two weeks and it *buries* The Glorious Burden.

One of these years I must get Somewhere Far Beyond and Imaginations From The Other Side. I've been meaning to check out some BG since I started posting here.

It is very good, and early impressions indicate that it is leagues ahead of The Glorious Burden, which I still really liked.

 

[Southy]

TGB was a good enough album, quit slagging on it. There was worse that year....

Only a handful of albums were worth buying last year.
I think I have about 3.

 

[Winmar]

What's the Japanese version likely to cost?

Which albums were they, Sydo?

Japanese people are funny.

Of those I've only got Edguy, Nightwish, Iced Earth and Velvet Revolver.
So I bought just 4 new albums last year.

 

[Wrathchild]

Winmar, The Japanese Tyranny of Souls was $33 US + postage, which for me translated into about $45 in real money. Bit pricey, but what else have I got to spend it on?

[Southy]

showoff....


Of that I have,
IE - TGB
Megadeth - TSHF
Shadows Fall - The War Within
3 Inches of Blood - Advance and Vanquish
Velvet Revolver

Then I got bored reading that, so not sure if I have anything else

 

[Goreripper]

That's not showing off. Showing off would be saying that I didn't pay for any of them except "Contraband" and "The System Has Failed".

 

[Blitzkrieg]

My fav albums of 2004 were Cradle Of Filth's "Nymphetamine" (which I am surprised to see barely mentioned on that page, it is a fantastic album!) and Edguy's "Hellfire Club". Awesome albums. Followed by Megadeth's "The System Has Failed" and Death Angel's "The Art Of Dying". Dio's "Master Of The Moon" and Dungeon's "One Step Beyond" are good too, as is Fozzy's "All That Remains", and I did enjoy "The Glorious Burden".

The Tea Party's "Seven Circles" and Alter Bridge's "One Day Remains" were some other favourites from last year as well, though they aren't metal.
