This works both ways actually.

Yea, that's the point I was making. It's an interchangable arguement that holds no water on why someone is saying they only collect vinyl cause it's more limited in the amount of albums they can get.

I'm basically on your side on the point of cds being a better format and it's mainly what I collect.

Nice, looking forward to getting this.

Is that some kind of Thor hammer patch at the top right? I quite like that.

"The Hammer's gonna smash your dream"

The Forteresse lp looks great! Will get my copy next week.


Some more stuff today:


Vampire - Vampire (7'' Ep)


Decrepitude - Demo III
Decrepitude / Blackline - Split

Someone had just pointed me direction of that Vampire, I'll probably pick it up. I like it but it kinda sounds like surf rock to me.

Love this one, as everything from ITW.

From this past weekend.

Vinyl:
Chimaira - The Infection (Picture LP)
The Black Dahlia Murder - Nocturnal (LP)

CD:
Aeon - Aeons Black
Hour Of Penance - Sedition
Gojira - L'enfant Sauvage

Yes it is. It looks great!

Good lord, quit being a dick. I collect vinyls really, so i don't buy as many cd's anymore. It doesn't mean Im limited to what I hear.

I was being a dick, sorry. I just don't like vinyl very much. And I guess no one is really limited to what they want to hear (other than time constraints and death), since downloading (and we all do it).

Please don't go around saying we all download cause it's not true. I don't download anything, my wife and quite a few of my friends who collect think it's parasitic leech bullshit.


Just picked up as well:

Behexen: Nightside Emanations

This was the first metal album I ever heard all the way through, so getting this on vinyl is pretty special

The Gathering are my favourite band, so pretty much HAD to buy this, the first time superheat has ever been available on vinyl.

Other stuff I've got in the last few weeks has been:

Judas Priest - british steel and stained class CD
Rainbow - Rising - vinyl
AC/DC - highway to hell and if you want blood, you've got it vinyl
slayer hell awaits vinyl
And the new My Bloody Valentine album on WAV, CD and vinyl, though I'm waiting on the CD and vinyl to come in the post.

Vinyl
Cannibal Corpse - Bloodthirst (blue colored)

Ebay is killing me. Along with having a paypal account. Ive been spending upwards to 50-100 bucks every two weeks on records. Everyday im tempted to buy more. I need counseling.

There is no help for you. All you can do is manage your addiction. You might have to take steps to allow someone else be in control of your funds to a degree to wheen you to a more managable degree.

I know just how it is...

Not me mate, I never rip off music
I hope my Marduk CD arrives today so I can bring this thread back on topic

Arkangel - Dead Man Walking LP
Arkangel - Prayers Upon Deaf Ears 10"

Found this today at a place I go to on occasions called 'Vintage Stock' for $15. I was pretty surprised I found this there actually.

There's always a few exceptions. I happen to think there is good reason to download, especially if the record companies are going to try to charge us $15+ for one new CD.

I really don't care what your reasoning is there have been tons of threads about why some people download for whatever reason. I really don't care. You talk about how $15 is too much for a new cd to a guy who regularly will pay $25+ if it's something I want regardless of how expensive the import price is. I work, I make money, I can afford it. If you are in a lesser stance in your free cash you can spend, not my problem, better yourself.

Where did you find the Decrepitude releases? I really enjoyed their split wit Vetala, which I have on vinyl here.

I want albums I like in my collection. I don't want albums I don't like in my collection. It's really that simple for me. And I also want to pay as little as I possibly can, because that's how smart buyers go about doing things, which means sometimes it takes awhile for me to actually pull the trigger on an album I like. I have a good job and I have plenty of money to spend if I so choose, and I do choose to quite often, as you may have noticed, since this is the thread I frequent the most by far.

Also, I didn't say $15+ was too much for me to afford, my implication was that the price of a CD being $15+ is more than necessary and thus the record companies are ripping us off.

I'm also willing to bet that the majority of respectable musicians and bands will be sympathetic to people who are less fortunate and not mind those people downloading. Henry Rollins pretty much said a very similar thing in an interview.

Just placed an order for a first press of belial - never again.

I'm going to probably want to post scans of this in the bootleg thread to confirm it's actually legitimate. Otherwise, I'm psyched to own a copy of one of my new favorite albums ever.


Hey man, I say spend the money on what you want. Save a little too if you have nothing else better to spend it on. When I used to have a job I would save half and spend half. It worked out pretty well! Except don't be like me where you decide that buying 5 reissues for 60 dollars is a better idea than buying one out of print record you really want. I feel like selling off those records now, because I'm stuck with them. 1 awesome thing blows 5 things you don't really care for as much sky high /rant

^^^ WORDS !!

btw stop your gay opinion about album vs money, is there anything that push ​​you to buy the album? its all about fun. just post your last purchase

enjoy

I agree with metaldiscussor666 see something you truely and fully want, get it. Unless you are stealing or using bill money to pay for your albums there is nothing wrong with spending your hard earned cash on shit you love and enjoy.

beeneNOLAdoobie, also you might want to try what my friend does, which is when something is released brand new and he knows it'll be of some value later on... he purchases 2 of them sometimes 3 and saves those extra ones and sell them on ebay later on for usually the cost of what he paid for the entire lot of vinyl. Something I wish I did with quite a few of the pieces I've picked up but oh well I have my own copy to treasure.

yea drumming, I'm not going to argue with you any further so stop pushing your point. I disagree and think it's garbage, it's nothing that I haven't heard in the number of debates I've had over the years since downloading started. I haven't changed my opinion in this many years, there is nothing that's going to change it now. Even if somehow if everything went digital and there was no longer physical releases... I would happily sit back with all I've purchased and enjoy that till end times. /end.

Did you have a bad day? Tell metal discussor all your stupid and immature opinions he doesn't need to hear. Whatever makes you feel better.

Have recently been getting back into tapes, after not listening to tapes in well over 10 years. Put some batteries into my ancient tape walkman and it still worked Planning on getting something else soon that has a bit more power. Anyway got this tape last week. Not really a fan of Sigh's newer stuff, but for me Scorn Defeat material is a classic.

No metal today but I picked up Killing Joke - Absolute Dissent, Dead Can Dance - Dead Can Dance, Poe - Hello, and Beastie Boys - Sabotage for $17.

Got a used copy of Tragedy - Vengeance on CD in the mail today.

Autopsy - Mental Funeral
Brutal Truth - Sounds of The Animal Kingdom
Anti Cimex - Raw Live 84/86

And the dude from the store gave me a brazilian death metal compilation for free

Diablo Swing Orchestra - Pandora's Pinata
Benediction - Grind Bastard + Organised Chaos
malevolent Creation - Invidiou Dominion
Dismember - The God that Never Was
Dyscarnate - Enduring the Massacre
Septic Flesh - Mystic Places of Dawn
Massacra - Enjoy the Violence
Gorement - Within the Shadow of Darkness – The Complete Recordings (double vinyl + 2 CDs)
Nachtmystium - Addicts: Black Meddle Pt. II

...and I caved and ordered the new Defeated Sanity, cause it fucking rules.

Slayer - Reign in Blood
Obituary - Anthology
Sepultura - Beneath the Remains
Gojira - The Way of All Flesh

Wow.....How much did that cost you?

Got it from a UK ebayer. Ended up being £22 which I thought was a pretty reasonable price. I have no idea how much they usually go for but thought that the price was a decent deal considering its age.

Just bought today Voivod's 'Target Earth' limited mediabook edition and an album by finnish hip-hop artist DJ Kridlokk. The mediabook edition of 'Target Earth' contains two bonus songs, two stickers and I think the booklet has more pages than the normal edition.

Ha I could have sold you my copy of Somewhere In Time, also enhanced
I have an original one for sale too [I don't need 3 copies of it ha ha]
