The "CD Haul" thread

Tony MacAlpine - Maximum Security

Absolute classic shred album!

Dissection: 'Reinkaos'

Didn't like the first song I heard, but it's really grown on me...

Korn - UnPlugged
I was kinda disappointed... some songs are terrific (e.g. the duets, Hollow Life), others are boring at best. Not up to the quality of Sevendust's South Side Double-Wide, let alone something like Clapton's UnPlugged performance. Ah well, I bought it used, cheap, so it's worth about what I paid for it.

Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction
'nuff said

Halford - Crucible
Haven't heard Halford's solo stuff yet... but it IS Halford!

^ mellow...

 

[FortePenance]

it's the most brutal thing i've heard since Abba.

but hey, i like Jack Johnson. He makes me feel happy.

bought Threat Signals cd: Under Reprisal

this cd is a cool cd. lots of easy to like meshuggah style riffs but also some of o that nice clean vox that I like. actually the cleanest vocals he does on this cd isn't that cool, but the "semi-clean" vocals is awsome.

I also bought mastodons: blood mountain

its also a cool cd, but I would recommend their first album to a new listener. since I paid about 5 pounds for it, it was totally worth it.

Veil of Maya - The Common Man's Collapse
Kurt Rosenwinkel - Deep Song
Boris - Smile
Boris ft. Michio Kurihara - Rainbow
Portishead - Third
Bill McHenry - Roses

The Portishead album is absolutely killing and completely different than what I was expecting from them; definately worth the 11 year wait.

Veil of Maya's debut was my favorite metal album last year, and I like what I've heard off the sophmore so far, but I'm not sure if it is better - feels like it is lacking some of the passion and writing chops of the first - but I'll give it a few more listens.

Rosenwinkel is a jazz guitar god.
