Metal Reviews

No, they cost this much:

Badlands - Badlands (w/Bonus Track) $1.98
Moonspell - Under Satanae $11.88
Perfect Murder, A - War Of Aggression $6
Rose Hill Drive - Rose Hill Drive (EP) $2
Still Remains - The Serpent $4
Wuthering Heights - The Shadow Cabinet (2CD) $5.99

Still a great price for that Wuthering Heights, though. I also got a bunch of other stuff for $2 and $1.98 to trade on lala. This time of year is good to buy because everyone is selling crap for Christmas money.

That's a good point. I'd like to go to Boston for a day and stock up. We don't have many used cd stores around here.

But you must have pawn shops, Goodwill stores, Salvation Army stores, Amvets stores, right? Those are great places to snag CDs. Also some video game stores sell CDs. You can find great CDs at those places.

Here's what came in the mail today:

Chimaira - Chimaira *
Dirty Pearls, The - The Dirty Pearls (EP)
Integrity - To Die For *
Kinghorse - Kinghorse
Sacred Steel - Bloodlust *

* $1.75 from lala.com.

These make 831 on the year! Haha. That's just ridiculous. I wonder if I can break 1,000.

Mystic Prophecy - Satanic Curses- There last cd was great and so is this. If your a fan get the digi version. It comes with bouns track and blank cd with code to download live album plus 4 other tracks.

** Three lala trades doubled-up, so six CDs for $5.25 to lala and two new CDs from the lala store to the sender. About $5 per CD total. Sweet deal. Direct ship is a great feature!

I love that album. You've actually inspired me to bring it to work with me today.

It's taken me a long time to get it. I had to settle for a slightly scuffed copy for $7.99. It plays fine, though.

I listened once yesterday; sounds killer!

So anybody got something to say?havenæ't heard anything of it.

I'd be a mental patient if I had to listen to Korn too . I actually bought my copy of ELP-Tarkus off a mental patient.

That makes 863 on the year, at least.

The Korn's perhaps the best thing they've done.

No way. Issues is the best.

Nah, Falling Away From You's the only really good track. Untouchables is solid - Here To Stay, Make Believe, Blame, Hollow Life, Bottled Up Inside... etc.

I've gotta agree with Ken. Issues has the best songs and just flows together as an album better than any other of their releases (plus it's awesome on a rainy day). Untouchables is way too inconsistent for me, and that production really gets of my nerves after 5-6 songs.

I find Issues to be their most consistent. Plus I like that it's the "different" Korn album. I thought they were onto something with that album, moving away from the Korn sound, but they just went downhill after that; a few good songs here and there, but nothing consistent.

Didn't Zad once make fun of me for liking Korn?

I'll listen to them again to check, but I'm pretty sure Untouchables is better. Catchier songs, anyhow. And what's wrong with the production?
