B.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 Apostrophe(')- Frank Zappa You have no idea what you just did to yourself by purchasing that album...
B. Brian Brunzell Posted March 30, 2004 Report Posted March 30, 2004 You have no idea what you just did to yourself by purchasing that album... Well, I feel like I'm getting smarter and crazier by the minute. Zappa can do that to you.
Anorak Posted March 30, 2004 Report Posted March 30, 2004 Gene Clark - Roadmaster Explosions In The Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
Guest Coffey Posted March 30, 2004 Report Posted March 30, 2004 The last CD's I bought were Disclaimer by Seether & The Eminem Show. I'm thinking about picking up the new Kayne West, Juvenile & Evanescence CD's though.
DCMaximo Posted March 30, 2004 Report Posted March 30, 2004 HIM- Love Metal Bon Jovi- Bounce (hey, it was only £3 and I really liked Misunderstood) Fenix TX- Lechuza Stone Sour- Stone Sour Napalm Death- Scum (for £1!) Crackout- Oh No Of them all, I think I like Crackout the best. They've stopped trying to be the British Weezer, which they were doing on This Is Really Neat, and are now trying to be the British Weezer Collaborating With The Cure, which is pretty great. Robots Have Feelings is quite the awesome song.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted April 2, 2004 Report Posted April 2, 2004 I just got Clutch's newest cd, Blast Tyrant, and You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Vol II, by Frank Zappa. It's my first foray into his 80's material, and I orignally immediately didn't like it as much, though the lineup is growing on me. I still like his 71-75 stuff best so far. The new Clutch is about what you'd figure, a really good hard rock album, only this one is WAY more drunk and stoned, with things kind of running together towards the end of the disc. They even bust out some acoustic work on here, which flipped me out coming from them. It's bluesy and brief, though.

I'll no doubt be picking it up come payday, though. After all, it's CLUTCH. Anyway, I got Accelerated Evolution by the Devin Townsednd Band yesterday. My sister came to visit me from Chicago and brought it for me. I really like it alot so far, and it may be Hevy Devy's best work to date.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 After a few spins, I rate the new Clutch right between Transitional Speedway League and Pure Rock Fury, although it doesn't even approach the awesomeness of Elephant Riders.
Jack_Bauer Posted April 5, 2004 Report Posted April 5, 2004 I just grabbed Lostprophets - Start Something. Very impressive album.
haVoc Posted April 5, 2004 Report Posted April 5, 2004 Aerosmith - - Honkin' On Bobo Best album since Rocks, arguably Pump.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted April 7, 2004 Report Posted April 7, 2004 The new Modest Mouse album, Good News For People Who Love Bad News. I'm a big fan of the band, liked the pre-release single ("Float On"), and it was only $7.99 at Best Buy. More thoughts after a few listens, but right now it's settling into a warmer version of the dreamy Moon and Antarctica, but with much fuller instrumentation and some of the more interesting rhythms and distortions of their earlier stuff.
Red Baron Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Good ol college CD sales. Machine Head: Hellalive Mercyful Fate: Don't Break The Oath Iron Maiden: Fear of the Dark Genesis: Seconds Out Dio: The Very Beast of Dio
Guest JebusNassedar Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Three CDs, one because I lost a bet. The CDs I bought were Dillinger Escape Plan - "Calculating Infinity", Slayer - "God Hates Us All", and Blind Guardian - "Nightfall in Middle Earth". I got the DEP CD after having half of the MP3s for the album. Very good. And I got God Hates Us All after being sent Disciple by a friend. I figured this was a good place to start with Slayer. And I lost a bet, so I had to buy Blind Guardian. I listened to it once. I hope it has fun filling a spot in the CD book I have.
jimmy no nose Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 I bought a new copy of Skid Row's "Slave to the Grind" in the used CD store for $2.50 because I think I lost my old one. I forgot how much I liked that album.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 Don't gamble with Blind Guardian. Your next stop for Slayer should be South of Heaven, Reign in Blood, and Seasons in the Abyss. In fact, those probably should be the first three anyone gets, but God Hates us All is still a good metal cd. They've done way better though. Peak Slayer is hard to beat.
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 Martin Popoff gave the new Clutch cd 10 out of 10, making me really question if I want to buy this album blind. I still haven't found any other clutch, mainly because I have forgotten to look until yesterday. Now I'm downloading this new one, maybe I won't want to punch Popoff so badly, until his next shitty review. And that Blind Melon album, forgot the name but it has a pic of Shannon's forearm tat on the cover? If it does, I must say, that is one of my favorite albums. Such a jangly, loose mess of wonderful. Recent purchase(or gonna buy on payday), Woods Of Ypres - Pursuit Of The Sun & Allure Of The Earth This band is the best metal band in Canada. Bar none. Yes I know it's a very bold statement, yes it is still true. Beautiful and innovative doom and gloom melodic blackness. Their first demo is one of my all time favorites, and I doubt that this one will dissapoint.
DCMaximo Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 Bought the new Hundred Reason album, "Shatterproof Is Not A Challenge", as well as the first Distillers album yesterday. Hundred Reasons album is damn good, like Far or the Deftones, except without the epic edge that the Deftones normally apply. The Distillers album is great and on first listen sounds much better than "Coral Fang"

B. Brian Brunzell Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Five more this week: Whatever Happened to P.J. Sole?- Local H Blast Tyrant- Clutch Do You Want More?- The Roots The Soul Sessions- Joss Stone Sign O' the Times- Prince I'm digging the new Clutch. Agent was pretty right-on with his thoughts of th new album. The new Local H is pretty good, the title track, "Heavy Metal Barbeque", and "Halcyon Days" are the standout songs. It's not as good as Here Comes the Zoo, but then again, few rock albums are. I'm really feeling the Joss Stone album. 16 year-old girls should NOT BE ABLE TO SING LIKE SHE DOES. As for The Roots and Prince, well, do I really need to explain?

I still haven't found any other clutch, mainly because I have forgotten to look until yesterday. Now I'm downloading this new one, maybe I won't want to punch Popoff so badly, until his next shitty review. That's a shitty choice for a first listen when Clutch is concerned. It's an pretty good rock record, and that's about it. Elephant Riders is friggin' outstanding though, and probably the place to start with them, only because the album's so different. Check out Transitional Speedway League after that, since it's another departure for the band. Way moodier and meaner stuff, but that's not really what they do best. "Binge and Purge" will always remain awesome as shit, though. This band is the best metal band in Canada. Bar none. Yes I know it's a very bold statement, yes it is still true. Beautiful and innovative doom and gloom melodic blackness. Their first demo is one of my all time favorites, and I doubt that this one will dissapoint. I'm afraid I have to mention the Cryptopsy precedent here, which nullifies not only all other Canadian metal bands, but every other brutal death band ever..except maybe Nile, but that's a toss up.

"Binge and Purge" will always remain awesome as shit, though. The Elephant Riders and the self-titled albums are the way to go if you're just getting started with Clutch. The self-titled album is just so fucking cool. There's just a groove to it, even with "Animal Farm." Sure it's fast and heavy, much like stuff on The Transitional Speedway League, but the underlying bass RAWKS and grooves at the same time. I can't really say that The Transitional Speedway League is a departure since it's their first album, but it's really dark, really mean, and Neil Fallon sounds alot younger and angrier. There's some GOLD stuff on that album though, like "A Shogun Named Marcus" and "El Jefe."
Giuseppe Zangara Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Thanks to Banky, I finally I bought a Stooges album. I got the self-titled; I would've picked up Fun House, instead, but Borders didn't have it, and they were the only place open on Easter. No big deal, though. I still got rocked.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Fun House is one of my favorite cds. Raunchy riffs and lyrics abound, and there's catchiness written all over it. "Dirt" stands out to me in particular.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Fun House is dirty, scabby gold. I especially love the porno-madness saxophones that pop all over the second half of the album and send it spiraling into "L.A. Blues." Blessed cacophony. And while I sorta dumped on the first album in the For Knowledgeable People thread, it's still really good. But I'm not sure if it's Fun House good.
