Last Album You Bought And Why

[EvaMonkey]

Simple premis, tell us the last album you bought and the reason(s) why you bought it... and thus a thread is born.

Album: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones

Reason: I was in the record store yesterday, just mooching around before I headed off home, when I noticed a song playing over the speakers, I listened and boped my head to it and thought to myself "The voice sounds familiar", I asked one of the store clerks who it was and they told me that it was "Yeah Yeah Yeahs", and thats where I knew the voice from (one of the songs in my top 50 is "Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs... awesome song), I snatched the CD up, headed home, downloaded it onto my iPod and smiled as the melody entered my brain.

Now your turn, Album and why... and I want real, paragraph reasons... and NO BITCHING because you think someone's band sucks, thats your opinion not theirs, so I thank you to keep it to yourself.

The last album I purchased eh?

Album: Odyssey and Oracle by The Zombies

Why?: Well I've always been familiar with the kick ass song "Time of the Season", and I guy I used to work with last year bought it and would talk about it. So I decided to pick it up a few months ago. And let's just say, WOW. This album is really amazing. 60's rock at it's finest. Vocal harmonizing is amazing, keyboarding is amazing, really it's just a perfect album.

Our Endless Numbered Days - Iron & Wine

Heard Naked as we Came and loved it. Promptly bought the album.

...is "bought" an British only word?

The Lord Weird Slough Feg - Down Among the Deadmen

It started when I was browsing a heavy metal website that I frequent and noticed a band with a particularly long and strange name. Then I noticed that the reviews were 5/5's and 4.75/5's. I read the reviews and liked what I read, so I went to the band's website and downloaded some sample mp3's. After listening to these two songs over and over for months, I decided to buy the album "Traveller" that they were on. I listened to that album for a while and really liked it. Then, I heard from many people that "Down Among the Deadmen" was just as good. I bought it online a little less than a month ago.

[Mount_Happy]

Album: Guns N' Roses "Lies"

Why?: I had been wanting to get it for a while, saw it for 10 bucks and bought it because it was a good deal.

[ZX-6RR]

Fuck, the last album I bought was 'Lateralus' by Tool. That was about 3 years ago.

[cushlinkes]

The Best Of Kansas, because they kick ass. Carry On Wayward Son, Dust In The Wind, and Play The Game Tonight... kick ass songs.

[Ænema]

Holy shit same. I haven't bought a CD in years.

[led_head]

I purchased three albums at once from Amazon.

Thick As A Brick - Jethro Tull <--didn't have any Jethro
Aqualung - Jethro Tull <-- " "
A Momentary Lapse of Reason <--wanted to get some more floyd, this was on sale

Thick As A Brick - Jethro Tull <--didn't have any Jethro
Aqualung - Jethro Tull <-- " "
A Momentary Lapse of Reason <--wanted to get some more floyd, this was on sale

Both of those bands kick ass. I love Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull. If you like those bands you'll probably like Kansas... not sure if you listen to them yet or not. I've been listening to them a lot lately.

[whereismymind]

Album: Quasimoto - The Unseen

Reason: I had a $20 gift card for a local record shop. I already heard a few songs off of it and thought they where good.

[fearfactory1100]

I buy in Bulk....


First I bought the legendary shoegaze album Nowhere by Ride.

Second I bought the jaw dropping Agaetis Byrjun by Sigur Ros, almost rendered me senseless.

Third I Bought Absence by Dalek which is some great Industrial Hip-Hop and it's awesome

Last I bought Stargzing by Alpha which is pretty cool chill stuff.

[BrainStew]

Album: Iron Maiden - "Brave New World"

Reason: It's fucking IRON MAIDEN! Truth is, I've loved Maiden for years. Almost as long as I can remember. But I've never owned an album by them. I've got most of their songs on my hard drive. So I was at the music store last week, and I saw it used for $8.99. Hell yeah.

[wrathchild]

I've ordered, but havn't got yet:
Amon Amarth - Once Sent From the Golden Hall
Anthrax - Among the Living
Dream Theater - Images and Words
Testament - The New Order

I bought the Anthrax CD because I want one before the concert (April 10th). I bought the rest as well to get free delivery.

[Albeano]

Rammstein- Rosenrot

I love the band. I've loved them ever since I heard Weisses Fleich

[Rev'd_Flasher]

Deep Purple - The Book of Taliesyn (remastered edition)

Replacing my old vinyl version. The remastered edition has extra tracks and comes with a book that's full of info about the making of the record.

[Travmire]

The last CD I bought was Universal Blues by The Redwalls. I already had and loved De Nova, so I had to have this one, but this is a somewhat unknown band and their even more unknown CD, so I couldn't find a place to download it from. I decided to cough up the thirteen bucks and order it off of Amazon.com. It was worth it, but I still prefer De Nova. I love the song, I Just Want to Be the One.

[Casey]

The last album I bought was The Back Room by Editors. They have that Interpol feel to them but with their own twist. I'm really into new wave influenced music these days.

[ThePope#15]

Guns N' Roses - Greatest Hits

I always buy the CDs of bands I love. I feel they deserve it rather than me downloading them.

[Enjoi]

I havn't bought an album in months, but that will all change once I get a job.
The last album i bought was Blindsides "blindside" cd (it's self titled).
Reason: I just heard a few songs from it. I was at the cd store and didn't know what else to get.

[I Like Me]

Iron Maiden - Edward the Great (Greastest Hits)

I was at Best Buy picking up Oblivion, and I happened to have a gift card. I didn't have much Maiden on my comp because I has recently reformatted, so I said what the hell and bought it. It's one of my favorite CDs, and the live version of Fear Of The Dark is awesome.

[a7x1337]

CD: Dragonforce - Sonic Firestorm

Why?: Because Dragonforce kicks ass, and Inhuman Rampage isn't out in America yet.
Next album I buy will probably be Decemberunderground

[k_tull88]

Reservoir Dogs OST, because I didn't have it yet and it is an essential to any CD collection.

[HappyKillmore]

I bought 3 CD's last time I was out. Black Sabbath's System of the Universe was the first one because it had most of their best songs and I didn't have anything from them.

Then I bought Blue Oyster Colt's Don't Fear the Reaper and it isn't the greatest but I wanted to hear some of their other stuff instead of Burning for You and Don't Fear the Reaper.

Last I bought Journey's Greatest Hits because it's Journey. I like them but I didn't want to buy any of their albums because some of their stuff isn't that great so I just played it safe. But when I got home I noticed on the back it said Super Audio CD and on a paper inside of the case it told me about it and how it could only be played on a Super Audio CD Player only. Never heard anything of them so I was pissed I wasted my money.

Yeah, you have to watch out for stuff like that. Back in the day (maybe about 2 years ago), I thought I had found a cheap Metallica CD and I bought it. Then, I arrived back at home and saw some small writing on the CD which said "{insert random band here} Performs Metallica". It wasn't actually a Metallica CD - it was just some guys trying to make money by recording Metallica songs.

Deep Purple - The Book of Taliesyn (remastered edition)

Nice to see another Deep Purple fan :) .

Opeth - Ghost Reveries

Why? . . . It's Opeth, stupidhead. Harlequin Forest riff at the end is orgasmic. Ghosts of Perdition has amazing vocals. Atonement has amazing keyboard textures. Basically, because it's Opeth stupidhead.

Cool, another Opethian for EBW :cool:.

It's good to see that you like Pain of Salvation as well. Gildenlow is great. I think you and ConanTL are the only other people who like PoS.

Yep, Opeth and PoS are my 2 fave bands. I'm seeing Opeth in about 3 weeks (I'm from Melbourne).

I think you'll like my new avatar :D

Haha, nice avatar :cool:.

I was born in Sydney and I lived there until I was 12. Then I moved over to NZ, but I plan to move back sometime. I actually went back to Sydney and Victoria last holidays.

I really want to see Opeth at the end of this month - but I can't because it's R18, and I turn 18 five days after the concert :wah:.

That sucks. I turn 18 11 days after an Anthrax concert (6 days time!!!!!), but luckily I will have a friend with me who can buy me booze and the concert isn't 18+.

That probably won't make you feel better. Sorry.
