I was led to believe that this album was the best thing since sex, and I was severely disappointed.

I listened to it a while later and it just seems to be a large pile of "Mehhhh" compressed onto a CD. A very underwhelming album IMO.

Also, I think I'm coming down with something :-\[/QUOTE]

Yea, I didn't really like "In Absentia" that much either. I pictured it being a lot different than it actually was.

Good bands this week :thumb:

<-- Jealous

If I was to buy all of those albums it'd cost me $200, if not more.

[QUOTE=munky_magik]Yeah I know, it's just paying out large amounts of money scares me :([/QUOTE]
Yeah, I know what you mean. I always get depressed when I think about how much money I've spent on CDs, but then I realise that I have nothing else to spend money on so I buy another load.

The average metal cd in HMV or Virgin where I am is about £15, which is a crazy amount. Always have to go digging in second-hand stores.

I usually pay $13-$15 around here. I like to buy online since it's usually cheaper, but it all goes on the credit card.

The prices at HMV and Virgin anger me ¬_¬.


NP: The Wildhearts - I wonna go where the people go

I love going and buying cd's in england even when you do the cross over in money any cd I want to buy in england is well cheaper I love it.

Also hello everybody I havnt posted in a while.

Cd's can go from €1 to €25 here, depends on the store mostly. €1 is very rare though. :p

I usually don't buy cd's above €13.

i like getting used cds. theyre only 4 dollars here

Sigh, I hate England's high prices on everything :upset:.

Yeah, it's annoying. I like going into town and coming back with a couple of CDs but I always get really angry about the prices in HMV. I go second hand, even if it means I end up spending £5 more than if I was patient and ordered it off the internet.

[QUOTE=munky_magik]That's a pretty decent haul, congratulations. [i]OK computer, KFAD, In Absentia[/i] are all really good.
The price is a bit scary, though :([/QUOTE]
Yeah, I think everything on there is at least a 4 star album, or just about. I'm excited. The price is really low for the quantity.
[QUOTE=jpj]Why? That's a good price for that many albums, it is here anway.[/QUOTE]
It is anywhere to my knwledge, if somone can find me CDs for less than $5.99 as an average price I'd be amazed.
[QUOTE=munky_magik]Yeah I know, it's just paying out large amounts of money scares me :([/QUOTE]
See, I know that I spend about that much on CDs every week or two weeks as is, so I just have to restrain myself that long from getting anything else and I'm good. I buy too many CDs though.

Interesting, it's a blind buy, but I've heard great things. I've heard bands similar to them and I liek them so hopefully it won't be disappointing, but if it is I'm sure I can find someone who'll like it.

I never spend over $10 on CDs. Online is a lot cheaper, but so is used. I can't stand normal CD shop prices. I buy 3 for the price of one normal price :-\
[QUOTE=Whale and Wasp]i like getting used cds. theyre only 4 dollars here[/QUOTE]
$4? Even for used that is fantastic, where do you live?

I get...uh...

Lately it's been 16 bucks and up for cds. :evil:

Its really expensive for CDs where I live. Had had to pay $30 for All of my Marduk CDs, all my Immortal, My Luca Turilli, Rhapsody etc i get the rare $18 CD. What sites are good to order online for?

[size=4][b]The Diary Of Heavy Riva[/b][/size]

[b]Monday[/b]

Heavy Riva was so glad
He spent the day with his girlfriend and she was veeery pretty
But he would soon be going home early
Boo-hoo

[b]Tuesday[/b]

HeavyRiva was so sad.
He planned the beach and it was sooooo cloudy.
He went regardless and soon was rowdy
with his friends.

[b]Chorus[/b]

He went out that night, out on the town,
Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'.
Then a voice from above said--
"HeavyRiva, you are the sober one
Doesn't mean you can't have fun.
Do a dance without a plan,
And you will have a great night, man ."

[b]Wednesday[/b]

HeavyRiva was stressed out,
He'd had zero sleep, and now he had uni and work
No time to even visit the forums and lurk
Before he started.

-----------------


So, my days at the beginning of the week?

Well, on Monday I spent the morning with Eleese, before exercising my arse off, as part of my "Get Fit For Summer routine". I woke in pain on the Tuesday morning.

Speaking of which, the clear skies and gorgeous breezes of Monday convinced me Tuesday would be a great beach day. Having organised it, I woke on Tuesday to discover it was gloomy and cold. Still we headed on down to the beach, and had a fairly good time, which is always a plus. Then we all tramped off back to my house to watch Team America, before I had to go to work.

After work, I headed on over to Eleese's house, and picked her up to go clubbing. It was a good night in town, and I enjoyed myself in the sober fashion to which I am accustomed. We headed into a few clubs, and after a while we entered a small bar that was just refurbished, whereupon we were targeted by a good natured evangelist who was flying 7 sheets to the wind, and preaching the power of Jesus and dance. But it was fun, and I managed to shake him off without too much effort.

After 3 hours sleep, thanks to the interruption of a friendly tradesman who'd come to install new security screens, I did some uni study, then headed in to work. And there I stayed, until 10pm, whereupon I came home and collapsed.[/QUOTE]

Baaarmp.

Oh god, that's painful. Yet another product of the imbalance between internet access and non-retarded people.

I can think of a lot of things better than sex, but In Absentia is not one of them, yes.

Those quotes Jom gave us just made my eyes bleed.

Ah, too bad...I know a few good AMerican sites...but besides amazon and ebay I don't think any do international :-\

Woah, I'm a total CD addict, but I'd never pay $30 for one. Jeez.


Unstable mind: Go edit your Candlemass review, punk! It was released in my birth year, 1986, not 1983.

[QUOTE=Superpeer]Woah, I'm a total CD addict, but I'd never pay $30 for one. Jeez.[/QUOTE]
Anyone who pays $30 for a CD doesn't know what to do with their money. Well heres what they can do with it: give it to me!

I've only payed $30+ for:
The Who LaL (Deluxe Edition)
Allmans Live at the Fillmore (Deluxe Edition)
Grateful Dead - Closing of Winterland
Phish - Live Phish 14
The Who - Quadrophenia

All 2-4 Discs, and well worth it. $30 for a single disc is outrageous.

I can respect it though, that's some true dedication to the music. \m/

I almost got tricked into buying an NIN album for $25, but I traded some used CD's in to the store and got it for under $10. :cool:

Welcome to Australia, the land of $30 dollar CDs.

Ah well. I wish someone would catch the ELO reference in my Diary.

Isn't that less in Australian dollars though?

And I always see Br3ad and Manuscriptreplica picking up cheap stuff!

I can buy Led Zeppelin's discography for $60...I'm not paying half that for a single CD...

P.S. Jason, ELO sucks :p
