Yeah but I bet your old vinyls at least have a picture of the band on the inside?

We're talking a single slip of shiny paper with the cover on the front and plain white on the back. That's just shoddy.

Music became a commodity when Mozart was commissioned by Count Walsegg to write the Requiem. This is nothing new.

But especially so nowadays. Back then, music was something special. Now, radio stations play the same Green Day song over and over again, and people listen to it mindlessly.

I kinda disagree

music has always been just entertainment and modern days are not different from the times of Mozart or Bach... only industrialisation has taken control of pretty much everything (including music of course) and changed everything since now everyone has access to it.

and I do think very few people take music really seriously... we certainly all are here but we mustn't forget we're a minority.

There are far worse mainstream bands than Green Day. And for the record, American Idiot does have a few decent/fun pop-punk tunes. But seriously. There's no reason for the radio to play Wake Me Up When September Ends after every two or three songs. It's basically just like any other alterno-ballad (snotty teenaged vocals and all), and yet the radio gobbles it up like it's the next Teen Spirit. Yeesh.

I know music is what matters, but it's always cool to get a 20 page booklet with some killer pics, an awesome cover and even some extra goodies sometimes. And lyrics are a must.

I hate how most BM albums don't even have the fuckin' lyrics.

I agree about the booklets. i really liked Iron Maiden's Piece Of Mind Booklet. It had like, 20 pages, lyrics and killer pics.

things i hate:

Green Day, Simple Plan, Rogue Traders and that Jessica Simpson song (these boots are made for walking)

I don't mind secret tracks, but what I hate is a secret tracks connected to the last track in the CD. You get 20 minutes of silence and then a hidden song. Often the hidden track isn't all that great, but now if you ever put this album on shuffle you're subjected to 20 minutes of silence! It makes little sense since you're listening to the album because you want to hear music not silence!

Also, a hidden track that is track 99 on the CD is lame (Danzig did this, right?). Who wants 82 tracks that are 2 seconds long? Again, this sucks if you put it on shuffle. If you're going to include a hidden track, just make it like track 13, after the last listed track (12). Also, include the name of the song somewhere in the CD booklet!

By the way, I like Testament's Return To The Apocolyptic City EP! =) And Iced Earth's The Blessed And The Damned was Century Media trying to cash in on Iced Earth's popularity. It wasn't a contract fullfillment, it was Century Media exercising their right.

I remember being in a bar with a jukebox, and I had spend £2 on putting 7 awesome songs into the queue. Turns out I never actually got to hear them because someone had put Nirvana's "Something in the Way" on first. Queue a long period of silence. :evil:

Hahahahahaha! That sucks!

-How about album titles that are more than fifteen thousand words long and don't make any fucking sense. (glares menacingly at Coheed and Cambria.)

-I bought a Dissection album the other day that was a digi-pack whatever-the-hell thingy, and it didn't have a freaking booklet. Since I only keep the booklet and the CD itself, I had to spend 10 minutes with a utility knife mutiliating the digi pack just so I could have a picture to put in the carrying case with the disk. :roll:

-Having to pay $40 dollars to get the new Dragon Force album shipped to Colorado.

- I agree naming a track or an album "III" or whatever number is just plain stupid. It's a album not a goddamned Star Wars Trilogy for Christ's sake.

-Every CD store within a 100 miles of here being run by shit eating little brats who look at you like your a huge inconvenience when you're ready to check out and they have to stop talking on their cell phone.

-People who only wish to reply to one sentence or phrase in someone else's post, yet they quote the ENTIRE post just in case everyone can't tell who they are talking to. And then that person in turn quotes the entire reply which already had their whole original post in it to begin with so a whole page is taken up just for two people to say basically nothing. :wink:

(ok that one is off topic but oh well)

Which brings me to crappy reissues that have 'buffer' tracks (ie the timer counts up a few minus numbers to zero) between songs that originally flowed together. Gives me mild whiplash if listening to with headphones.

Yes, that's annoying too.
