List your latest few purchases (or more, it's up to you) here!

• Devin Townsend - Infinity
  Glad it isn't just amazing artwork that graces this album *cough*, this is some masterful shit! Still haven't reached the "full appreciation" stage yet for the music. Still, no Devy fan should be without this!
• Metallica - Death Magnetic
  Yes I know, the sound's compressed to shit and Lar$ deserves to have his drumsticks burned and shoved up his ass, still--to me--a solid album though. I think this is as much a "return to form" that these old farts are capable of making!

Next purchase: Dream Theater - When Dream and Day Unite
- I've been putting off the purchase of this one for years. I actually really like the vocals too. Aside from this album, I've bought more than enough Dream Theater albums and I really just find them extremely boring and monotonous.

'Avian - Ashes and Madness' is on my wish list. I think the first album of Avian 'From the Depths of Time' is really good, so i'm very curious how this one has turned out...

It is way better than the first album in my opinion.

When Dream and Day Unite came today. Great stuff! Although it looks like lasercd.com found it used at a gas station bin as I was spared the trouble of removing any plastic from the case and it had a subtle "Classic Rock" sticker on it. I also noticed that the song listing had 'side one' and 'side two'... Err? Guess they just took the back of a cassette booklet and blew it up.

I didn't care for the debut, but I'm interested in hearing Ashes And Madness, everyone says it's much better.

 

[Black_Sheep]

Amon Amarth - Versus The World

Amon Amarth - Once Sent From The Golden Hall

 

[PyramazeGuitar]

Just bought: Serenity - Fallen Sanctuary

Fucking brilliant album. Being a musician with a lot of songs under my belt, and having listened to a lot of metal, it's hard for me to find something that really makes me go "wow" these days. but Serenity's new album is over the top well written and well played symphonic metal.

 

[Iced Dog]

^ completely agree

 

[Olddoggie]

Cradle of Filth - Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder

 

[Drakhan]

Persuader - When Eden Burns
Tad Morose - Modus Vivendi
Zero Hour - Metamorphosis, and A Fragile Mind

Actually it might be wise to wait until they release the Something Wicked boxset as it should include both albums--remastered and the first one being "Barlowised", a live DVD, and four additional songs for "The Crucible of Man".

That is, if you're feeling patient.

I just recieved "Ravenheart - Valley of the Damned", yesterday. It's just your average symphonic melodic mighty mighty dragonslaying riding-through fire cause it's desire, run-of-the-mill, type of metal. The lyrics are almost as laughably awful as any "Iron Savior" release, contains absolutely no originality whatsoever, and a lot of Dragonforce fans will shit on them for the album's title.

And I like it! Good job, guys!

Oh and one definite plus is that there's no narration.

 

[BurntOfferings666]

Evergrey - Torn (Limited Edition gatefold digi-pak w/ Bonus Track limited to the first 6000 albums pressed)

 

[GuitarRage99]

That is a very good album imo. Evergrey stepped it up.
