The Purchases Thread

[Spiff]

Yesterday I bought:

Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
REO Speedwagon - The Essential REO Speedwagon

What do you think of the Glenn Hughes album, Sydo? I got it last year and it took me quite a while to get into it, but now I think it's tops.

I bought 5 Star Prison Cell - Slaves of Virgo

My 15 minute first impression makes it sound like every other Glenn Hughes album I have heard or owned. That's neither a good or bad thing. I am absolutely looking foreward to giving it a full listen, but not really expecting to be blown away.

 

[Southy]

The Blackening is awesome though isn't it Sydo

 

[Sydo]

I am yet to listen to it.

Anesthesize is awesome

 

[Southy]

Listen to it Sydo

I got it last Friday. I don't think it's anything special whatsoever. Hopefully it will grow on me though. I do like Porcupine Tree.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Yeah. I don't think it's as good as their last 2.. But I do think the 17 minute one is good. Would be a greast experience live I think

Instead of paying $75 to see Slayer, I bought some oldschool CDs, nothing was recorded past 1987, woot!

Bitch - Be My Slave/Damnation Alley
Omen - Battle Cry
Omen - The Curse/Nightmares
Cirith Ungol - On Foot in Hell
Helstar - A Distant Thunder
Riot - Fire Down Under

They just arrived this morning, cant wait to get some free time to spin them.

Blitzy re: that COF, it hasnt knocked my socks off but there was some good moments, I still havent listened to it much because d.Filth tends to annoy the crap outa me.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Bah, it is a classic.

My latest purchases are a backpack, digital camera and rechargable batteries, travel insurance, flights, and festival tickets.

Helstar's "Nosferatu" was one of the first CDs I bought once I started discovering new bands on the net (circa 1996). Haven't listened to it in aaaages.

 

[Stonewall]

[Bucko]

You should dust that gem off, its a classic I need to get a new turntable so I can play my Helstar LPs amongst others...

Today I bought:

* Black Sabbath, "Mob Rules" - owned this years ago but in a moment of madness sold it.
* Gary Moore, "The Platinum Collection" - three CDs for $18
* The Departed
* Extras, Season 2

 

[Spiff]

Bulletboys.

Only ever heard one song of theirs (Smooth Up In Ya) but it's one of the all-time greats.

 

[Winmar]

The Silent Force is awesome. Heaps better than Mother Earth, which had way too many ballads. I already had it on tape since 2005, but had never really listened to it because a tape player fucked it up a bit.

I went into JB today for the first time in almost 7 months. There are shitloads of new albums I want. Will just have to wait till my $2000 credit card debt is reduced.
