Official Haul Thread

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

I bought Legacy of the Kings ages ago, hated it, boring, shit, pathetic, allways will, allways have,... So SUE ME!

 

[Demonspell]

Indeed.

How is that No Man album?

It's actually an EP which I don't own, the title song appears on Returning Jesus, which is more subdued than Porcupine Tree's albums, a bit reminiscent of their ballads...lush and ethereal.

 

[Kate Bush Rules!]

I agree Shreddy, HammerFall suck.

The most recent CDs I've acquired are:

Opeth - Damnation
Radiohead - Hail To The Thief
The Gathering - Nighttime Birds
Savatage - Streets
Shakti - Natural Elements
King Crimson - Thrak

I got some money so I'm going into town tomorrow to buy my Radiohead tickets and increase my Opeth and Björk CD collections.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Can you give us some info on Shakti, Kate Bush?

 

[Polyeidus]

Gentle Giant's "Free Hand" is awesome. Glad you like Amaran. How is that Portishead album?

Awesome, of course. I love triphop, and I already loved Dummy, so it's an awesome record.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Awesome, of course. I love triphop, and I already loved Dummy, so it's an awesome record.

yeah, triphop is awesome

Got my latest haul a few days ago...
Ephal Duath - Rephormula
Ephal Duath - The Painter's Pallette
Emperor - IX Equalibrium
Kotipelto - Waiting for the Dawn (shut up.. he's awesome!)
Green Carnation - A Blessing in Disguise
Threshold - Extinct Instinct
Virgin Steele - Hymns to Victory
Nevermore - Nevermore
Sonata Arctica - Broken (single)

Goddamn sonata arctica kicks ass. As for the others, the only one that i am unsure about is the threshold one... the others are really cool (green carnation is exactly the opposite of light of day, but still good) and i am very happy.

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

shit, you guys get alot of cd's. I recently got soilworks steelbath suicide. Totally fucking awwsome!! Mega-cool riffs with some really melodic solo's

 

[Demonspell]

Great haul Theodyssey...The Ephel Duath and Green Carnation are among my favorites of this year, the Emperor and Nevermore are underrated albums, and that Threshold album is damned good, give it more time...

 

[theodyssey]

So someone else likes Ephal??? Heh, i bought it not only because of the many adds on UM, but also because my lunaris cd came with a sampler with some ephal from "Rephormula" and i liked it. And though i have to say Painter's Pallette is very different from rephormula, it's my favorite of the two. As for threshold, i bought it for damien's vocals and i was not displeased there, so i see it as a success... though i want to listen more. I didn't think it's at all bad, it just didn't instantly grab me. And the first track from A Blessing in Disguise... WOW!!!!! That's a killer song! I have yet another favorite vocalist (same as on light of day for those who don't know)

@Grom - Evergrey Fucking rules man! Good you finally got it

 

[Polyeidus]

I picked up Green Carnation - A Blessing in Disguise today. Pretty kool disc. Any thoughts?

 

[The Yngster]

I have Critical Mass and Wounded Land from Threshold coming right now.

 

[Polyeidus]

Cool, I havn't got Wounded yet, but I have Critical and it's good stuff!

 

[The Yngster]

I got Critical cause everyone says it rules, and I got Wounded because I want to hear how Damien sounds on it, and because I love special edition stuff.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

I just ordered the new Labyrinth album and "Lights Out" by Antimatter... should be here tomorrow.

 

[Polyeidus]

I got Critical cause everyone says it rules, and I got Wounded because I want to hear how Damien sounds on it, and because I love special edition stuff.

Yeah, me too. Something about a Lmt. Ed. that I MUST always have.

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

I got three CD's two days ago,

Aghora - s/t - man, what an underrated band. Super cool indian/fusion/prog/metal band. Sandiago (the guitarist) is awwwwsome. Having some super grovvy grooves to it thanks to The Seans of Cynic (bass and drums) on it. I don't really like the cjicks vocals much. There just uh... too perfectly in tune... i guess. She can sing really well, but i don't think it goes with this type of music. It also has a cd-rom extra in it which is cool.

Opeth - Still Life - I perfure this alot more than Blackwater Park (not that i don't like BwP, thats awsomme too), some beautiful acoustic playing, melodies and atmosphere. Extreemily melodic. The only word to describe it is "beautiful".

Cryptopsy - And then you'll beg - This is some crazy shit! Woah, the extreemity in the music (particularly the guitars and drums) is mind-blowing. Very technical death metal with crazy shredding, riffs and drums in it. I need to listen more to it to be able to memorise the songs.

The only problem is that I havent had enough time to listen to them, I've been really busy.
