Coma Ecliptic
Underrated album, one of their best works. |
| 10 |  | Vektor
Terminal Redux
Thanks Sputnik Hypetrain. I was really surprised to see this in my local record store which kinda sucked in the metal department until this past summer really. |
| 11 |  | Gojira
Magma
A serious resurgence with toned down energy but greatly improved songwriting and album structure from their previous couple efforts. I went to the record store on release day and every weekend after for a month until they got this one in. |
| 12 |  | Periphery
Periphery III: Select Difficulty
I pre-ordered it. I neither am happy or upset with that decision, but I stand by my 5 on Juggernaut so these guys deserved my money. After listening on repeat for the long drive to their concert/my girlfriend's home, it got somewhat jammable. |
| 13 |  | The Dillinger Escape Plan
One of Us Is the Killer
Easily these guys' second best behind Calc. I ordered a poster tube with my periphery pre-order, but then the posters didn't get made so they said they'd replace it with another CD from the label. I was expecting crap but got a better record than the one I paid for. Thanks Killer Merch |
| 14 |  | Insomnium
In the Halls of Awaiting
I bought the Candlelight Years bundle since it was $18 for their first 4 albums. I'm not as in love with this band as I used to be, but still a very worthwhile purchase. |
| 15 |  | Insomnium
Since the Day It All Came Down
Candlelight Years |
| 16 |  | Insomnium
Above the Weeping World
Candlelight Years |
| 17 |  | Insomnium
Across the Dark
Candlelight Years |
| 18 |  | Chevelle
This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In)
I discovered a used cd shop where everything is $5 and made it a new favorite hunting ground. The place reeks of weed to an almost unbearable extent though. |
| 19 |  | Coheed and Cambria
The Second Stage Turbine Blade
Another used pickup. |
| 20 |  | Fleetwood Mac
Rumours
This is one of my favorite albums of all time. It's not my usual style but I love it. |
| 21 |  | Nails
You Will Never Be One of Us
I picked this up at the same time as the Fleetwood Mac album. I think it was the sternest combination of two CDs to ever walk out the doors of that store. This is the first album I ever bought new, sound unheard. Luckily I was satisfied. |
| 22 |  | Typhoon (USA-OR)
White Lighter
My girlfriend got me this for our anniversary. I got her the same album on vinyl for the same occasion ironically. It is a favorite for both of us and deserves a lot more attention. |
| 23 |  | Gojira
Terra Incognita
I saw these guys in concert at the beginning of the fall and they said they were rereleasing this album under their own label because they recently bought it back from its original label. It's my second favorite from them so I thought that was cool and bought it when I saw it in the shop. |
| 24 |  | Quiet Riot
Metal Health
Measly Vinyl Collection starts here. I only started this very recently as I don't own a turntable. My girlfriend does though and these were all super cheap and (heavily) used.
A landmark hair metal album that is a very fun listen. |
| 25 |  | Blue Oyster Cult
On Your Feet Or On Your Knees
This was in a Fire Of Unknown Origin cover, but I didn't check to make sure the correct vinyl was in there. I love FOUO but this one was still okay. Not a huge fan of most live albums though. |
| 26 |  | Deep Purple
Machine Head
I haven't checked this yet due to the turntable issue but will soon. With its reputation and price, I couldn't pass it up. |
| 27 |  | Yes
Close to the Edge
Same as Deep Purple. This one actually had two (identical?) copies of the album. I don't know what that is about yet. |
| 28 |  | Neurosis
Through Silver in Blood
Forgot these. Back to CDs though.
This was a used shop pickup. I was so shocked to see it there I bought it immediately even though I'm not the biggest fan of it. |
| 29 |  | The Sword
Warp Riders
Really great album. My girlfriend and I each bought one of these for me at the same time. Don't remember why or whatever, but oh well. |
| 30 |  | The Sword
High Country
Good album, but not their best work. |
