| Birthday Take 2025
Getting older quite sucks! But at least had the opportunity to visit some nice used media shops, mostly while travelling in the State of WA. | | 1 |  | Front Line Assembly
Millennium
First stopped at Half Price Books in Everett, WA. Didn't end up buying anything there, but they had a load of Front Line Assembly albums. | | 2 |  | Hotwire
The Routine
Next, visited Lost in the Groove in Mount Vernon, WA. This was a sweet store, with low prices and a decent (yet older) selection. Found this gem of a nu metal album. | | 3 |  | Klone
All Seeing Eye
Also picked up this alternative metal (Toolish) album at Lost in the Groove, as well as Klone's "Unplugged" album | | 4 |  | No Doubt
Rock Steady
Finally bought this from Lost in the Groove, as been in a Ska/Ska Punk and No Doubt mood for a few months now. | | 5 |  | Tomahawk
Mit Gas
Next, made it up to Bellingham, WA and the great Ritual Records. Awesome store - with both new and used media. Found this Mike Patton classic for little more than $1. | | 6 |  | Five Iron Frenzy
Upbeats and Beatdowns
Also picked up a ska punk album... | | 7 |  | Save Ferris
It Means Everything
...and this ska pop album. | | 8 |  | Dislocated Styles
Pin the Tail on the Honkey
Always on the lookout for obscure rap metal, and found this one-off album at Ritual Records. | | 9 |  | Butcher Babies
Goliath
Next, made it back down to SEA-TAC, and visited the nearby Half Price Books. Bought this beast of a metalcore album. | | 10 |  | Gwen Stefani
The Sweet Escape
And bought a pop album - for $2. | | 11 |  | Murderdolls
Beyond The Valley of the Murderdolls
Made it back to GA, but was next in Athens (at UGA). Bought this gothic metal CD for $3 at a record store next to Wuxtry. Primarily to hear the great Joey Jordison on guitar. | | 12 |  | 24-7 Spyz
Strength in Numbers
Next, went to Wuxtry. TBH, didn't find much but this early rap/rock hybrid album for $5 - and didn't pull the trigger. | | 13 |  | Spiritbox
Tsunami Sea
Finally, to cap my birthday off, purchased Tsunami Sea from Amazon. Coming on release day (Friday, 3/7) - Can't wait! | |

03.05.25 | Sounds like a fun adventure. | Hawks
03.06.25 | Happy birthday!!! | JDubb
03.06.25 | Thanks Hawks! | artiswar
03.07.25 | have to know what you think of 4, 10, 11 & 13 JD | CugnoBrasso
03.07.25 | I can confirm that getting older does suck. | artiswar
03.07.25 | yeah I don't like it | JDubb
03.09.25 | @artiswar:
4 - OK, but the reggae beats are nothing compared to the ska punk in Tragic Kingdom and The Beacon Street Collection
10 - haven't listened in full yet
11 - Sophomoric, but does have a few good tracks and covers. Joey's guitar work is not even close to as good as Scar the Martyr or Vimic.
13 - Received on Friday - haven't had a chance to listen to it fully yet. | efp123
03.09.25 | hbd buddy | budgie
03.09.25 | its cool ur in WA though ive been meaning to check this place out for a long time !
could be worse !
u could be english ! | JDubb
03.15.25 | Thanks efp123!
Regarding 13, digging this album so far. Prepared a light review on my thoughts. | pizzamachine
03.15.25 | “for $2.”
A steal | JDubb
03.23.25 | Regarding #10. Loved Gwen in early No Doubt - and her vocals are still good (excepting yodeling). And always buying albums to expand my interests. But this album is just stock pop to me. |
