axxis - axxis II
Lost horizon - a flame to the ground beneath
thin lizzy - whiskey in the jar

Coheed and Cambria--In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
Coheed and Cambria--No World for Tomorrow
Enslaved--Ruun

Yay, more Co&Ca for me...only thing that makes me mad is that I tore up the cover of No World for Tomorrow getting the Parental Advisory sticker off

Why take it off?

On what site do you review?

http://www.tartareandesire.com

It's not a great site; it's actually the site I left when I started reviewing here. But when MR and I broke up, I went back to my old girlfriend. Haha.

It's a temporary thing while I build my site.

ahh...so you are running it?

I'll check it out=)

When is your site going to be up?

First quarter next year, maybe? I'm learning as I go.

And no, Tartarean Desire is not my site. I can hardly stand to look at the ugly thing.

EDIT: Got these today...

American Dog - Red, White, Black And Blue *
Barren Cross - State Of Control *
Maeder - Maeder *
Sixty Watt Shaman - Reason To Live *
Various Artists - Balls Of Fury (Sndtrk) *

Dream Theater-Falling Into Infinity

Turns out it's true about it being watered down.

Still a pretty good album though, a mon avis.

Helloween - Gambling With the Devil
Monster Magnet - 4 Way Diablo

King's X - Black Like Sunday
King's X - Ogre Tones
Tabor, Ty - Rock Garden
Tabor, Ty - Safety

The Theocracy album came in a few days ago, and I've listened to about half of it in the car. Overall, great power metal record. Like a mixture of Helloween and Dream Theater (there's even a small snippet of the Pull Me Under riff in the title track) - all by one guy, no less! A textbook example of Christian metal done right.

I do, however, wish the album's production had a little more "Oomph!" But I guess we can't have anything.

I LIKE HAVING SEX WITH LITTLE BOYZ IN DA HOOD!

Can somebody bust a cap in this homeboy's ass allready? BAN PLZ!!

Split personality.

Pagan's Mind - God's Equation
Circus Maximus - Isolate
Sirenia - An Elexir For Existence
My Dying Bride - A Line Of Deathless Kings

I'm funnier than that, my friend. It's clearly someone else here trying to be funny. My money is on TheOctavarius.

* $1.75 from lala.com.
** $6 from Open Grave Records. It's a limited sale, but there's some great CDs to be had; everything from power metal to thrash to death/black metal.

EDIT: Hit up Boston today, but on my way there I stopped to mail some things. I've been living in my house for two years now and there's been an Amvets shop right down the street next to the post office, which I've been to at least a hundred times. I've never even noticed the Amvets store. So I went in there today to see if they had CDs, and they did.

A lot of them were ridiculously dirty and scratched, but I found the self-titled Badlands CD for $1.98 (all discs are $1.98 there)! The jewelcase was clearly used as a coaster (see below) in a dirty house, but the CD and inserts are mint. Sweet deal! This is what I got there and in Boston:

Badlands - Badlands (w/Bonus Track)
Moonspell - Under Satanae
Perfect Murder, A - War Of Aggression
Rose Hill Drive - Rose Hill Drive (EP)
Still Remains - The Serpent
Wuthering Heights - The Shadow Cabinet (2CD)

Wow, you got the new Wuthering Heights for that cheap?
