Some Brand New albums are on my list as well. Not Daisy, but all others are. I personally think Daisy is their worst album to date with Science Siction being the best by far. Nothing by them comes close to that album neither lyrically, sonically nor vocally.
Lyrically and sonically I'd say Science Fiction is their best album. Overall for me it sits as #3. I don't like Daisy and think it's their worst album by far. Brand New is one of my favorite bands of all time and their first 3 albums plus Science Fiction are all some of the best albums ever made in my opinion.
It's interesting to hear groups of people, (here and elsewhere), who have been fans of theirs for a long time say that Daisy is their worst. But I join the party way late having never heard of them before with no bias of the general opinion and quite liked it. Interesting. I've listened to 'The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me' now and that was brilliant as well, and probably does nudge Daisy down a bit. I feel I've spoilt myself by hearing Science Fiction so early. It is incredible.
Aquired over the past week. Black Sabbath - "Vol. 4" Black Sabbath - "Sabatoge" Black Sabbath - "Heaven and Hell" Iron Maiden - "Killers" Marvin Gaye - "Trouble Man" Frank Zappa - "Hot Rats"
Taylor Swift- Reputation [Magazine Edition, Volume 1] Taylor Swift- Reputation [Magazine Edition, Volume 2]
Been meaning to get into these guys for years now, this album having most of the songs I know by them. Went for the double disc deluxe edition, since that was the tracklisting that was intended to be released. For whatever reason, the label wanted them to release a condensed 1 disc version too.
In Hearts Wake - Earthwalker & Skydancer Both digitally! One of my favourites at the moment and it's another Aussie band! I don't know what's going on over there, but it seems Metal/Hardcore is in their genes. Parkway Drive, Northlane, In Hearts Wake, Polaris, Make Them Suffer, I Killed The Prom Queen, For All Eternity, Aversions Crown, Signal The Firing Squad (they sadly broke up a few years ago), etc. ..., just to name a few.
Boris - Pink Street Fighter II: Animated OST Both on cd. Was gonna get Boris on vinyl but it was about 45 dollars
I went on an MF Doom spending spree yesterday morning. Ended up spending $92 Madvilliany Unexpected Guests Mm.. Food (+DVD) Keys to the Kuffs Mouse & The Mask (Metalface Edition) Take Me to Your Leader Born Like This And I'll be getting the Operation Doomsday boxset that comes with the lunch box on Friday.
I bought some albums days ago: Linkin Park - One More Light Live Bring Me The Horizon - Sempiternal Avril Lavigne -Self-Titled NIghtwish - Endless Forms Most Beautiful Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare Unfortunately my Sempiternal jewel case is broken, but the record still works and the lyrics are there, but I'm thinking of getting another copy of it in the future.
My haul over the past week or so. Alice in Chains - Facelift Alice in Chains - Dirt Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies Alice in Chains - Alice in Chains Alice in Chains - MTV Unplugged Mad Season - Above Stone Temple Pilots - Core Coldplay - Talk About a week or two ago, my interest reignited for Alice in Chains, a band I was really into in high school. I now have all their main releases save for Sap. Also got Mad Season's Above, a band formed by Layne Staley of Alice in Chains, members of Pearl Jam, and others. There were really unique in that there were a grunge band very much influenced by the blues. Great stuff. Got Stone Temple Pilots' debut since it was only 4 bucks. The one I am most excited about buying was the Coldplay single release for Talk. On Australian, Canadian, and Japanese releases of the single, "Gravity" served as one of the b-sides. which is one of my all time favorite Coldplay songs, and is so highly underrated. I was ecstatic when I saw this at the CD store I went to. Whoever originally bought it must have imported it. They had other Coldplay singles too, but not ones I was as interested in.
Masaharu Iwata and Hitoshi Sakimoto - Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together Shiro Sagisu - Evangelion 1.0 Shiro Sagisu - Shin Godzilla Two movie soundtracks and one video game soundtrack. All bought on iTunes.
