Darkest Hour - Archives
Dark Tranquillity - Exposures
The Knife Trade / Through The Eyes Of The Dead - The Annihilation Of Expectation
As Cities Burn - Come Now Sleep
Envy - A Dead, Sinking Story

I'm not much an alt/indie guy. :(

:narf:

Just say you bought an album by The Knife and not The Knife Trade.

Well, these weren't purchased but rather my school's radio station was having an event, and also had bins of rejected CDs, so I swiped a few (some out of curiosity, some as gifts for friends):
Lower Class Brats - The New Sedtionaries
The Ergs! - Upstairs/downstairs
The Self Righteous Brothers - In Loving Memory
Mannequin Men - Fresh Rot
Balzac - Deep Blue: Chaos From The Darkism

Upstairs/Downstairs is soooooo good, but not quite their best. At least rip it to your computer if you're giving it to a friend.

Yeah, that's the only one I picked up that doesn't have a case. It's not really my thing musically, so I don't really know what to do with it.

Bruce Cockburn - [i]World of Wonders[/i]
Neil Young - [i]Rust Never Sleeps[/i]
Neil Young - [i]Everybody's Rockin'[/i]
Neil Young - [i]After the Gold Rush[/i]

And Modern Life is War - [i]Midnight in America[/i] on cd.
