(be)rate my LP 'collection'

This is a short list ha ha. Finally got my own turntable for Christmas - spent years occasionally buying vinyl at gigs/for collection purposes, but have mainly been a CD boi until now. CD is still useful, but since listening to physical media is more of an occasion now and my CD collection is so swamped out with multiple generations of my own taste as is (not to mention about 70% in storage), figure it's time to turn over a new leaf and purchase occasionally but meaningfully? Will also have to invest in a decent soundsystem at some point etcetc yes, but lfg!

Following LPs are all either in storage since my family home went up for sale or got swiped by my kid brother. Will track em down eventually but probably won't have them to hand for a year or so.

Coming home after a month of travels to find this in the mailbox fresh on release was a delight and an earthshaker. Think I sat down with a bottle of something and no notepaper/laptop/mobile/whatever and just let it happen for an hour - feels like an entirely different time now. Wonderful first impression at any rate, just about lived up to the mammoth hypewave even if it's fallen down a rung or two since (great record still, but never their masterpiece)
9Haru Nemuri
Haru to Shura


Cheapo European pressing uh it works!
10Hop Along
Get Disowned


FUN gig! Frances Quinlan was running the merch table for a while and they are tiny!
11Melt-Banana
Teeny Shiny


Not sure why I bought this one specifically - grabbed this after a baller gig that I stupidly attended without earplugs, and my headspace was every increment of fucked. Caught up with them afterwards (lovely people!) but not sure if I got it signed.
12My Bloody Valentine
m b v
13The Dillinger Escape Plan
Option Paralysis


Bought from Pots, lovely ltd edition clear (iirc!) vinyl that sticks them needles in your ears like no-one's business
