The CURRENTLY LISTENING TO thread

[modernwizardry]

Eh. I liked parts but not as good as some people have been saying.

I thought Animal Spirits was brilliant!!! I was not going to buy it cause I thought Ape Uprising and Atavism were not good but I found it used and took a chance. It's really good.

Lol I just listened to Mercury Rising last Friday! I remember that I really liked their discs back in the day, but I listen to it now and the singer is almost cringe-worthy! It was good to revisit, but there is definitely a reason why I filed it away in the "Do Not Ever Play Anymore" drawer. But I also find some gems that I filed away 10 years ago( actually, 5), like Dark Moor. Its always good to look through your cd's once in a while, you find some goodies!

Finally got around to picking this up. I absolutely love this disc. It has so many elements that I dig.

UFO - Phenomenon
Wild Horses - First Album
Thin Lizzy - Renegade

In the middle of this. Cool folk metal from Argentine.

I really need to get myself a copy of this and their debut. Love what I've heard but for some reason haven't broken down to purchase them.

I listened to this in full this morning as well.

All Great Choices, Simon!

 

[jem777az]

Awesome stuff! It's like Meshuggah, Tool & Riverside all rolled into one.

 

[Claus / Intromental]

Just listened to this one (and it sucked):

Now listening to this one (and it sounds pretty darn good - but then again, these guys haven't made anything I didn't like):

Got my one-year-old nephew on my lap with this on. He was banging on the pc with a smile on his face to "Curse Ye all Men". Wife and nephew's parents are besides themselves, especially after putting on "Olivia" on Nick Jr. for him. He preferred Ihsahn to Olivia! F-ing epic!

 

[ApolloFC]

I'm officially a Magenta fanboy... despite my hatred of fan boys/girls. Last february I literally listened to nothing but this band. Christina <3

 

[nomisofsiman]

I've had this for a bit and don't know why it took me this long to take a listen. After listening, I would say it's definitely in the top 10 releases of last year.

And then got lazy and felt like listening to what was next in my iTunes library. However, I also haven't listened to Grave Digger in a while.

 

[Stingray11214]

Shit, I found this on Metal Archives, and I do not know what a fifty-eighth Level Grand Wizard is, and not only have I kissed a girl, I married one as well!

Anyway, South Africa's Strident and Power Metal from Space:

 

[Diamond45]

Listening to some Brazillian power and prog recently. Most of you on here should know both of these bands. One even played ProgPower USA a couple of years ago.

 

[johan68]

I listened to this in full this morning as well.

Ghost got voted number 2 in Sweden Rock Magazine for album of the year 2010 (if anyone cares...).

 

[Justin G]

I'm listening to Stryper's The Covering and as much as it pains me to admit it, the album is really good. They nailed these songs.

 

[nomisofsiman]

Totally bizarre, but I love this.

And of course, more Immortal since the show is tonight:

I don't, but the COTD is writing their mandatory "sell out" letter on these guys right now as we speak!!!!!!!

Ah well, hipsters spend more money on CDs than traditionalists anyhow, right?
