Got this idea from the Movies forum.
Simply post here what CD's you last purchased/recieved. You can also, if you'd like, write a little critique for those CD's. This could possibly help those who'd like to expand the list of groups they listen to, and give people ideas of what to listen to next, if the CD they are interested in buying is any good. I'll get the ball rolling and start with the disc I recently bought, which is Meds by Placebo.

13 Song To Say Goodbye


I had heard of this group before, but never really listened to them. There are two songs on this album that I'd heard before I bought it, Infra-red and Song to say goodbye, both of these songs are amazing and pursued me to check this group out. I have to say that I absolutely love this album, been pretty much listening to it back to back since I got it.

nice, just got the Maximo Park album; A Certain Trigger


"Signal and Sign" (2:25)
"Apply Some Pressure" (3:19)
"Graffiti" (3:05)
"Postcard of a Painting" (2:14)
"Going Missing" (3:41)
"I Want You To Stay" (3:44)
"Limassol" (3:42)
"The Coast Is Always Changing" (3:19)
"The Night I Lost My Head" (1:51)
"Once, A Glimpse" (3:03)
"Now I'm All Over The Shop" (2:23)
"Acrobat" (4:42)
"Kiss You Better" (2:05)
it aint bad actually, but the dude's voice annoys me a bit. Apply some pressure is still their best song.

It's probably their weakest album though. If you liked that one you'll go insane with Black Market Music. Though you could just pick up their singles collection instead of picking up all the albums, which is named Once More Time With Feeling.

Nice, thanx for the info dude. I'll be sure to look it up

Last CD i bought was an Elliott Smith collection -

Figure 8
http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/3072/fig84sk.th.jpg (http://img149.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fig84sk.jpg)

1. Son Of Sam
2. Somebody That I Used To Know
3. Junk Bond Trader
4. Everything Reminds Me Of Her
5. Everything Means Nothing To Me
6. LA
7. In The Lost And Found (Honky Bach)/The Roost
8. Stupidity Tries
9. Easy Way Out
10. Wouldn't Mama Be Proud
11. Color Bars
12. Happiness/The Gondola Man
13. Pretty Mary K
14. I'd Better Be Quiet Now
15. Can't Make A Sound
16. Bye

it's not that good but i bought purely for the fact i can say that i own all Elliott Smith's stuff; his best albums by far are "Elliott Smith" and "Either/Or" - both are absolutely stunning.

Elliott Smith is amazing, and the best of his work is when its stipped down to its bare basics, i find that the Basement On the Hill work is as good if not better than some of the stuff on Figure 8.

http://www.elliottsmithbsides.com is a great website from demos and unreleased work of his, i recommend it to anyone looking from some decent acoustic music.

IMHO the best Placebo album still is the first one ("Placebo"), raw as I like it.

I can't get enough of songs like Come Home, Teenage Angst, 36 Degrees, Nancy Boy, I Know or Bruise Pristine.
I miss my teens :boohoo:

I haven't purchased this album, as its yet to be released. But I will buy it come August, for sure. About the album: nice change of pace from Cursive's usual aggressive style and just solid, overall. The use of the trumpet coupled with bits and pieces of Mid-Western influence is great.

Oh man Cursive rock, i've got Domestica and The Ugly Organ

Best songs i think are - The Martyr, Lament of the pretty baby, the recluse and art is hard :rockman:

Quite a decent effort. Certainly a grower and it starts well with the first 3 tracks. I got the dual disk version so the DVD side is a welcome sight. The journal film has a fantastic soundtrack to it.

Oh man Cursive rock, i've got Domestica and The Ugly Organ

Best songs i think are - The Martyr, Lament of the pretty baby, the recluse and art is hard :rockman:

I have those, too. And they're both fantastic. "Butcher the Song" has to be my all-time favorite Cursive song; it's just ... God, that cello! Gretta Cohn's cello! It's so haunting. (H)

Butcher the Song is quality :rockman: . I love the chorus - if you can call it one.
But the first 5 seconds of the song put me off it, so when i listen to it i move it after the begining build-up.After the 2 minutes the song goes into the part i really like, the "get out the butcher's knife.

The 'Cello and the other fairground music thingy really freaked me out one time when i was listening to it at 3am.

Bought lots of CD's lately.

Today I bought (favourite songs in bold):

Seaside is a nice acoustic number to start it off, Eddie's gun is catchy and Ooh La is very good. She moves in her own way is probably the best song on there, Naive is the hit single and it's also very good. Got No Love is a bit of a dissapointment but overall, a very good album.

just got this album, and I have to say, it's pretty good :rockman:

lol cd purchases

WAY too many brian jonestown massacre CDs, mostly from mid 90s. :( this was quite a while back, BUT I'm still recovering from the money thing...

BTW F*CK CDs that exceed the low 10 dollar range. hell, the reasonable (and righteous) artists know well enough to live off 9 bucks an album and not screw the mass.

BTW F*CK CDs that exceed the low 10 dollar range. hell, the reasonable (and righteous) artists know well enough to live off 9 bucks an album and not screw the mass.

yeah, most CD's are way over-priced in general, I still can't beleive it when I go to Best Buy or something and see some albums going for like $22 bucks, sometimes more. In this day and age that's just adding fuel to the piracy fire.

I like used CD shops myself, if you don't mind digging through boxes, sometimes you can find great stuff for only a few dollars

Yes, CD's are overpriced indeed. I don't buy any in shops over here (Sweden) 'cause they're so expensive, I just order online. When I lived in England I used to get them from Fopp, good deals there...most new releases would be around £8 and older stuff usually a fiver.

Yup, that'll be me.

I listen to basically everything that goes under the category "music".

how do you think SG's very own music trading ring will work out if I start it? it'd be semi-private (availability shown, join through invitation) with "obscure" label music (basically anything but main which has the intention to SUE). oh and of course, JUST music, no warez BS. there would also be a quality limit, of what format/bitrate would be used.

if any mods can give a go-ahead or members show some support for this, I think we can really make this work.

i think its a quality idea, and wouldn't maybe like b-sides and unreleased recordings also fall into that catergory.?

I mostly buy CDs on the Internet, it's much cheaper.
You should try www.cd-wow.net or www.music-wow.com, they are the cheapest I have found yet, but I don't know, if they deliver to Sweden. I think CD-Wow does, as they sell swedish CDs. I got a Petter CD from them. And they always send them via air mail, but no delivery costs.

There's very little difference between online and high street prices, here. Might have something to do with HMV and MusicZone competing against each other.

I buy most of my CD's low priced. Play.com is pretty cheap, has a nice selection, no delivery cost and are pretty fast, so I use them pretty much.

Nice buy, I highly recommend Lateralus (2001) and 10,000 Days (2006) as well. (Y)

After listening to Ænima for a while now, I'm definitely going to buy some of the other albums as well. Thanks for the suggestions ;)

There's very little difference between online and high street prices, here. Might have something to do with HMV and MusicZone competing against each other.
If you buy a CD in a store here you have to pay like 17€ or 18€, if you look at internet shops they usually are about 13€-15€.

Tool are awesome, you ever heard anything by A Perfect Circle? Same vocalist as Tool.

Ah, I knew I had heard that voice somewhere before.

totally agree, everyone bangs on about how cheap online is, but when HMV or MusicZone do sales, they do them good.

I mean with stuff like games, people "claim" to be doing sales, when they're all at the same price, but with CD's, you can get some amazing deals if you just wait around.

For mainstream stuff, the supermarkets have SHOT DOWN prices over the last five years. MusicZone and HMV consequently focus more on nicher stuff now, at good prices (Y)

But do HMV/MusicZone deliver straight to your do for no extra price? :p

I buy from MusicZone quite alot, mainly due to my ex's brother working there and occassionally giving me discount (H). Get more DVDs in there though - Donnie Darko for £1.97 :o

Yea they're the albums i've got iirc. I've found they're softer than Tool but Passive is just... :o


Yeah, it's definitely a softer, more "commercial", less progressive version of Tool so to speak, but songs like "Judith", "3 Libras", "The Package" and "Pet" are awesome. (Y)


Maynard is definitely one of the best vocalists of modern rock (if not all rock), second only to Mike Patton. (H)










(You knew the Patton plug was coming Hyun, so STFU. :((H))

Yeah, it's definitely a softer, more "commercial", less progressive version of Tool so to speak, but songs like "Judith", "3 Libras", "The Package" and "Pet" are awesome. (Y)
Yea Judith and 3 Libras are probably my two favourite tracks. Especially 3 Libras, great track.

I only know 3 libras, but it tops all my playlists no matter what.

musiczone had sin city for £6 other day (Y)

Just ordered from Amazon "Supermassive Black Hole" single and "Black Holes and Revelations Limited Edition" album. Muse of course. Me be hueg Muse fan.

why the hell is everyone into Tool all of a sudden?

They're phenomenal but I cannot comprehend this sudden interest in a time when they release their weakest album. They must have hired a new marketing staff.

Anyway Aenima is one of the greatest albums of our time, so good buy.

CDWOW is good...always cheap cd's and dvd's....in the UK, Fopp beats HMV any day...

I dunno man, but I've noticed that too. At least around here I think it's because they're actually getting radio play, just driving around to and from work these days I hear Tool at least a couple times.

Yeah, I never really heard anything of them before, but only heard good things about them here and on some other forums, so I decided to buy "Ænima" to check them out.

Matter of taste?

does that mean tool isn't only for "pseudo-intellectuals" anymore? finally, no more pretentiousness!!

does that mean tool isn't only for "pseudo-intellectuals" anymore? finally, no more pretentiousness!!

haha so true...then again, the whole indy/hipster scene around here has a really annoying "more-intellectual-than-thou" attitude to it too.

Aye, calling everything 'immense' can only go so far.

Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss

I didn't really have any expectations to this album after having both "God Hates us all" and "Reign in Blood" in my collection before, but this one totally blew my mind!

hoping to arrive on Monday:

Thom Yorke - The Eraser

I thought it sounded pretty much like a stereotypical Radiohead album, only not as good.
Although that's saying something.

Kinda reminded me of Hail to the Theif without the group input. So there's not much invention but it's decent enough from what I've heard.

Play's been packing my copy for two days now.

a) Either the site's knacked

or...

b) Some trainee keeps dropping the bugger.

Bayside - Bayside
man that was the cool music back then.

whatever happened after that car accident?
Thom Yorke - The Eraser
now how the hell will the people quarantine this one? the demon has been released! (H)

heh, I just picked up that Dj Shadow vs. Keane single too! Great track...

EDIT: I also picked up Head Automatica's 'Popaganda' about a week earlier. I hadn't heard anything from it previously but I grabbed it because of Dan the Automator's involvment (whom I'm a big fan of). It's an ok album overall, but the only tracks I really like are "Graduation Day" and "Shot in the Back (The Platypus)"

I recommend you pick up something from glassjaw. it's daryl's former project (not really hip-hop -ish, but still good).

but you probably bought the album just for the sake of dan the automator, so buy mike patton stuff. he just recently released peeping tom.

Peeping Tom is pretty disappointing overall, but tracks like Five Seconds and Mojo are ace. If I'm gonna buy pop music, it's from Mike Patton that I'm buying. (H)

people still buy CDs?

Yeah, I do...mostly used though.

I love sifting through the bins at used record stores, I've found all kinds of great stuff doing that, even some really rare albums and imports. Always really cheap too... I rip them into max-quality MP3's with iTunes anyhow, but there's nothing like having the hard copy.

Scott Matthews - Passing Stranger

Someone's took the baton from Jeff Buckley and given a Jazz, folk fusion that sounds class. On top of that, it's not draped in misery. So he's less likely to top himself. Huraah! Album of 2006. Probably.

really nice album, the Scott Matthews one.

Strange Fruit Project - "The Healing"

I've heard a few tracks off this album recently and they were pretty good, very laid back, nice beats, thoughtful lyrics. Kinda reminded me of early Common, early De La Soul, etc..

Blue Sky/Black Death: A Heap of Broken Images

http://www.mushrecords.com/album_art_front/MH243_AFf.jpg

"Blue Sky Black Death step on the scene with their double CD debut, A Heap of Broken Images. Comprised of producers Kingston and Young God, this San Francisco tandem explores the nether regions of hip-hop, meshing dark samples, vocal snippets and live intrumentation into an album that holds its mood from start to finish. The first CD consists entirely of dense instrumental music, while the second is structured around guest emcees. Jus Allah, Wise Intelligent (Poor Righteous Teachers), Sabac Red (Non-Phixion), Guru (Gang Starr), Chief Kamachi, A-Plus and Pep Love (Hieroglyphics), Rob Sonic, Virtuoso, Mikah-9 (Freestyle Fellowship), Awol One, and Holocaust (Wu-Tang) all appear. This deep line up of collaborations spans the spectrum of hip-hop sound with stirring cohesion."

Good man (Y)

Next I'll probably buy is the new Dream Theater CD, Score. May just get the DVD to watch the concert instead (Y)

just got the Score CD (DVD on order :p), tis really good. Especially The Spirit Carries On. Octavarium with the orchestra live is just insane.

Yeah, it's a really great progressive rock/metal album, glad to have it in my collection.

Anyways, got myself the new Mastodon album, "Blood Mountain", and I must say that this is truly a godlike metal/rock album. I reckon it's right up there with Nevermind, Superunknown, Toxicity, Master of Puppets, Lateralus and Songs for the Deaf as far as great rock/metal albums are concerned. :Bow:

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia

Taking small steps towards the legalising of my collection :$

Three albums that I bought over the past couple of months........I'd definitely recommend the Beck album, just recommend the Lemonheads one, and hesitantly recommend the Dj Shadow one, and maybe entirely not, if you don't happen to be a big fan of his to begin with.


http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000HIVO64.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V39979607_.jpg


Beck - The Information.

Elevator music
I think I'm in love with you
Cellphone's dead
Nausea
.......seriously, I'll go on listing the entire album as my favourite tracks save for "Movie Theme" if I keep on going like this........this album is just that solid both lyrically and instrumentally, man. It didn't hook me in on my first listen as I was driving back from the music store, but after just keeping it around in my car for a couple weeks, I decided to give it a second listen through while I was cruising about (not in the queer sense of the word) aimlessly one night, it just hooked me in.......hooked me in like the first time I burrowed myself inside of a couple of inches worth of vagina mudflaps, man. It now gets a full listen from me atleast once a week, man.




http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000HCO8IG.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V60036201_.jpg


DJ Shadow The Outsider


This time (I'm gonna try it my way)........easily going down as one of my favourite tracks of 2006, man.
Seein thangs
Broken Levee Blues
Backstage Girl
The Tiger
You made it

The album is kinda disjointed and uninspired in some parts. I'm really not a big fan of the Hyphy/Crunk sound but Dave Banner and E40, whose comedic geniusness on the mic I've always appreciated, were both solid in their respective tracks.


http://ec3.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000HIP3WK.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V41268906_.jpg


Lemonheads-Lemonheads

Black Gown
Become the enemy
Pittsburg
No Backbone

Just a solid album from beginning to end. It sustains a consistent level of quality without really increasing in its greatness or worsening at all, you know?

Wir Sind Helden - Die Reklamation

Lisa Miskovsky - Changes

Snow Patrol - Eyes Open I don't think that they're such a great band, they're more than decent but they're being overrated. They definetely aren't as good as Keane or Coldplay or Travis or whoever else they get compared to. I heard a couple of the singles and I was pretty sure that the album would be good so I went ahead and bought it.

Oh and I heard a cover version of Everybody's Changin by Lilly Allan. I've never heard a girl sing with so much of an English accent. It sounded crap to the original but I like her lyrics to her own songs. I'm thinking of getting it in the future, don't know. I haven't ever seen it any any music store here though.

(Y)(Y)(Y)

my latest purchase is 12 stops and home by the feeling

amazing album, every time I listen to it a differnt track jumps out at me as the best on the album - everyone of them is a potential single release

Yup, I have O Silencio. In fact, I have all their albums. I love O Silencio but I think Lado B Lado A is my fav album. Definitely an awesome band, too bad they aren't big outside of Brazil.

Anyway I bought the new John Legend album, great album! the guy has talent.

Just got this CD off of Amazon, saw this news clip on TV and their performance on Leno. It's two brothers who's music is basically a mix of violin and hip-hop. Love the album, it's really something different. You should definitely cop one.

http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/1072/hiphopdocktrinecover4jo.jpg

^ Probably the greatest mixtape I've ever heard. Talib Kweli, MF Doom, J Dilla, Common, Asheru, Black Star, Little Brother, etc, etc... Great show too, for those not familiar.

^ laid back, hip-hop influenced jazz. pretty good..

Bro, is there a way that you could link me up with the Boondocks mixtape? I'd really appreciate it greatly, bro.

WHOA!

This is one huge ass mixtape, bro........NNNNNIIIIICCCCEEEE!


So far I've only given the first track a listen and if this is a hint of what's to come.....then I'm AMPED, bro.

Yeah, it's full of good stuff for sure, enjoy. I'm really into tracks 11 & 12, I'm kinda partial to the laid back/chill type stuff..

Yeah, definitely. This is my first exposure to Asheru and I'm really impressed by his delivery and lyrical content.


Including Nag Champa into this track was definitely a good touch on the producer's part.

Safe to assume that you're a big Common fan pre-Electric Circus, yeah?

Indeed, although there were a couple tracks on 'Electric Circus' that I really like (The Hustle, Aquarius), even though that album was kinda wack IMO. He redeemed himself with 'Be' though, that's for sure..

^ I've recently started to properly appreciate J Dilla for the great producer he actually was. I'd always heard good tracks that he was involved with but had no idea just how influential he really was thoughout all of hip-hop..

And speaking of Little Brother.. You probably already have it, but in the off chance you dont you should definitely get a copy of The Foreign Exchange - Connected. It's essentially Little Brother produced by Nicolay, such a great laid -back album.

BUMP 19, club music cd in SA, i love it!!

Actually no, until the other day the only album of their I had was The Minstrel Show and I decided it was finally time to hear their other albums. This was the highest rated one before Minstrel Show on rapreviews.com.

ah, well then I think you'd definitely be into that album. It's even more amazing after you hear how the album was actually made... I dunno, I don't want to overrate it or anything but it was one of my faves at the time it was released.

Damage-Kosheen
Make Another World-Idlewild
Inside In/Inside Out-The Kooks
I've preodered the new Travis album coming out May 7th so I'm hoping that one will be good because they haven't made any albums for a few years.

Last week I went and bought Tool - 10,000 Days, and Deftones - White Pony.

Put in my order for 'Intuition - Stories about Nothing' last night at cdbaby.com. I heard the track "foundations" and instantly had to get the whole CD.

"Intuition sees the world differently. He extracts humor from the mundane, locates heartache in humor, finds comfort in that heartache, and develops stress out of that same comfort. Where most would see a straight line, he tends to see a circle."

"Thought provoking independent hip hop. Intuition is a great lyricist, and Equalibrum provides a beautiful soundscape for him to rap over. The production value is phenomenal."

shinji dude, have you listened to Us3's latest album?
if I remember correctly you also fancy the band so do try Schizophonic, it's incredibly good IMHO.

Currently searching for Sonic Youth albuns, cause I'm getting a big fan of them. Maybe I'll wait for the release of Teen Age Riot in 12th of June, in a new edition and with lots of goodies!

And I will search for "Dirty" and "Rather Ripped" like mad (H)

Johnny you can easily get either of them at FNAC, even if they don't have it in the store you can always ask them to order the album from some other store in the country, or even from above although imports might cost you a few more €.

I didn't even know they had a recent album, haven't listened to them in a while. I checked out some tracks from that Schizophonic album on iTunes just now and it does seem good, I'll have to keep an eye out for that one..

Also, if anyone knows... I'm trying really hard to find a website to order the CD "Dyno - Dyno is Sol Waters" somewhere online but none of the places I usually buy from have it.. and so far the only online stores I've found with it available are in Germany or Japan and I'm not interested in paying fat-ass shipping charges.

I can get it from iTunes but I need a hard copy, so if you know any good online shops from Canada or the US that carry indy hip-hop, lemme know thanks..

btw man, here's another very good album I came across with these days ;)

http://www.gymclassheroeslyrics.com/images/cover2.jpg

Actually, that's not bad thanks. It only ends up being like 6.50 CAD for shipping, that's the best I've seen so far..

I'm not a fan of GCH at all, can't stand them tbh

not a fan either of the band itself, but that album I actually like, it's...fun.

glad I could help on the Dyno thing :)

been doing some shopping today :D

Beck - Guero
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Nicola Conte - Other Directions
Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals - Live From Mars

One of the sweetest albums that I've had the pleasure of purchasing in the last couple of years.

If you're even remotely into Dino jr.....hell even if you despise them with a passion...buy it, man.

I realize that im always overusing the superlatives of this language and extoling this, that, or the other as the 'best'" or 'greatest", and most of the time, I'm really sincere about these proclamations, but I'm especially earnest about the quality of this fantastic album, man.

I've been meaning to purchase it for the last couple of months, but I just havent made the time to do so. Anyway, I got it last week and let it just lie there in the back seat of my car for the past several days, until I finally inserted it into the cd player last night on a long trip to visit some pals, and boy, let me tell yah, man. This just might be one of the finest driving albums ever created....certainly the best album that ive heard all year....maybe even last year.......the instrumentals are a perfect 10, and the brilliant and catchy lyrics arent that far behind imo. It's so good that it should come with a warning label saying that you shouldn't have it on while operating a vehicle, man....it's just so intoxicating and, and gets yer toes a tappin, head a bobbin', and mid-section a thrustin'.

Definitely gonna be on a lot of short lists for album of the year in my opinion.....sorta album that even the greats of yester-years would be proud of.
