Jeff Buckley - Grace : of course i've heard of it in the past years but never really checked it out... well better late than never... i think that album is a MASTERPIECE and understand why so many people are raving (and mourning) over it
Covenance - the wasting (e.p) : ULTRA BRUTAL SLAM DEATH awesomeness... for fans of Pyrexia, Dying Fetus, Misery Index, Dehumanized, Suffocation, Internal Bleeding, Irate...
N.E.R.D - fly or die : expected some crappy MTV poser r'n'b/rap thing, and actually it's an awesome pop/rap/rock album
Michael Jackson - the whole discography : More like a RE-DISCOVERY than a Discovery, but after the whole "OMG Michael Jackson is dead / This is it movie" thing, i listened to his stuff again (i used to listen to it when i was a kid but didn't listen to it for years after), and i gotta say it's just AWESOME for the most part, especially those epic pieces : "earth song" "man in the mirror" "human nature" "beat it" "smooth criminal" (played the Alien Ant Farm cover version when i was in highschool
) "black or white" (awesome Periphery cover btw
)
Enemy Mind - Enemy Mind/Line of scrimmage split CD : awesome death metallized beatdown, think early Shattered Realm but better. Wasn't much impressed at first but now i love it.
Faith no more - album of the year : always loved the "king for a day, fool for a lifetime" album, but never checked out that one much. I friggin' LOVE it.
Revocation - existence is futile : 'nuff said
Lian Ray - All i have (ep) / The list (ep) / We are the fox and the fony (ep) : killer sad yet beautiful pop/folk
Seven Weeks - All Channels Off : nice French stoner/rock, discovered them live
