Vinyl collection
I bought my first vinyl record in 2014. I never had a good record player, I just recently bought a decent Pioneer, so I can afford to expand my vinyl collection now. I'm more of a CD guy, but still, I like buying/receiving vinyl records every once in a while. The list is a collection of vinyl records I have, without counting the older ones I got from my parents. |
| 1 |  | Opeth
Watershed
First vinyl record I bought. RSD edition, a double piss-yellow 180 g wonder. There's even a bonus track but it's meh. |
| 2 |  | John Williams
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Got this for the hologram. I regret it, but it's gonna be worth a fortune in twenty years. |
| 3 |  | Delta Sleep
Management
Standard size, 45 rpm, fun record. |
| 4 |  | Sigur Ros
Agætis byrjun
Got this for my birthday. Great album, and it's one of those cases in which the vinyl support gives something more compared to the CD, unlike most other records I have, this one is warmer than its CD counterpart. |
| 5 |  | AJJ
Live At The Crescent Ballroom
I love to see people's face when they see that I have a record with "JIHAD" written on it. I'm planning to buy an Isis record for the same reason, I was born to be an edgelord. |
| 6 |  | Chambers
La Mano Sinistra
I reviewed this record last week. Great post-hardcore from Italy, it sounds like a more psychy/proggier version of Drive Like Jehu, with some Gospel in it (the band, not the genre). |
| 7 |  | Storm{O}
Sospesi Nel Vuoto Bruceremo In Un Attimo
Chaotic post-hc. Good record, glad to have this on vinyl, even if the package stinks like fish/triethylamine for some reason. |
| 8 |  | Cymbals Eat Guitars
LOSE
Pink vinyl, looks beautiful, I bet it tastes like raspberries. |
| 9 |  | The National
The Virginia EP
Another birthday present. I enjoyed this record way more than I thought I would, |
| 10 |  | Schammasch
Triangle
One of my favorite Swiss metal bands. Triple vinyl, 180 g, this record weighs more than half a kilo. The edges have not been sanded, it almost feels like you could kill a horse with this record. |
| 11 |  | Intronaut
The Direction of Last Things
Probably one of my favorite prog metal records ever. |
| 12 |  | Refused
The Shape of Punk to Come
History |
| 13 |  | Lubomyr Melnyk
Three Solo Pieces
Got this from the guy himself, after a concert. Chill dude, took him five minutes to tell me why he thinks that his music is better than Beethoven's. |
| 14 |  | Punch Brothers
The Phosphorescent Blues
The song Familiarity is probably a 5/5. Album has its ups and downs but still a great piece of work! |
| 15 |  | Ghost (SWE)
Meliora
I kind of like this album. I have a hard relationship with the movie Metropolis because I first watched it when I was 8 or something, and the scene in which they burn the robot still haunts my dreams, so I'm glad to own the cover artwork in this size. |
| 16 |  | Arcade Fire
Funeral
I'm not these guys' biggest fan, album is mid af and I'm being generous, can't remember how I got it. |
| 17 |  | Fontaines D.C.
Skinty Fia
A record to attract them wilde females. Nah I just like this, who am I fooling. |
| 18 |  | Il Teatro degli Orrori
Dell'impero delle tenebre
Semi-legendary Italian noise rock band with members of Buñuel. |
| 19 |  | Fugazi
Red Medicine
List of Fugazi albums that I like more than Red Mecidine: Repeater, Argument, In on the Kill Taker and End Hits. The fact that this is still a huge record is a testament to their legendary status. |
| 20 |  | Converge
Axe to Fall
See Fugazi. Axe to Fall is an amazing record, either my 3rd or 4th favorite Converge depending on how I feel about Dusk in Us on any particular day. |
| 21 |  | Ugly (UK)
Twice Around the Sun
A record I surprisingly enjoyed a lot, it's very proggy but tastefully incorporates modern influences throughout. |
| 22 |  | Ringlets
Ringlets
One of those rare records that's exciting on your first listen, and with each subsequent listen, you keep discovering new things to love the deeper you dig. |
| 23 |  | Fluxus
Fluxus
Fluxus was an underground Italian noise rock band (à la Helmet). This is their least noisy album, more akin to alt rock/grunge. I bought it at their concert, even though I hadn't planned to, because they advertised it as being 'Ham-colored', which lmaooo I needed to figure out what kind of color that was. It really looks like a slice of ham! |
| 24 |  | Verdena
Requiem
An Italian band famous for mixing grunge with psychedelia. 'Il suicidio del samurai' is more grungy, 'wow' is more psychedelic, this one sits halfway and it mixes everything correctly in my opinion. Also, cringe ass lyrics but if you don't speak Italian you'll leave unscathed. |
| 25 |  | Johnny Cash
American IV: The Man Comes Around
Why do I have this lmao, I bought this while I was living in Germany around 2018 |
| 26 |  | Sprain
The Lamb As Effigy
Fucked up tracklist, ruins the whole experience. Probably a hot take, but I really feel like it breaks the fragile balance of the digital tracklist. Bummer. |
| 27 |  | Honningbarna
Soft Spot |
| 28 |  | Drive Like Jehu
Yank Crime |
| 29 |  | La Quiete
La fine non è la fine |
| 30 |  | The Locust
Plague Soundscapes |
| 31 |  | Flotation Toy Warning
Bluffer's Guide to the Flight Deck |
