I love the statement it makes, I love the way Richard Patrick constructs his music for the most part, with the nice searing riffs and the good thumping drum sound with a little electronics thrown in for good measure. A very nicely produced, written and thoroughly enjoyable album, IMO

I haven't actually begun listening to it yet. Plan to really soon though, I'll let you know :beer:

Just been out doing a spot of CD shopping, not too many disc brought home, but these are the two i found piqued my interest...

Death Cab for Cutie - The Open Door EP
Poecupine Tree - The Incident

Very excited about giving both of these a good headphone listen very very soon!

Ha :thumb: You can share your opinion about it in Porcupine Tree thread :D Thanks.
Do you know some other albums by them or this is your first try?

I have had a friend play their stuff for me and i liked it much, but was always so busy trying to find my favorite artists stuff and keep up with that.... now thati have cleared the decks i figured it was time to try something new... I would have bought some of their older studio albums too, but alas, the store had none... Happy to take uploads though! :)

Bought on CD:
Silversun Pickups- Swoon
Genghis Tron- Board up the House
Jónsi- Go
Tech N9ne- Killer
Super Furry Animals- Radiator

Record Store Day was a smashing success! It may have packed like a can of sardines in there, but it was well worth it.
The live music was great too.

^Radiator, nice you're in for a treat

I'm fortunate enough to be in San Francisco right now so I went to Amoeba earlier today and the place was just bustling. Surprisingly though the lines went really quickly and the staff was super helpful with finding stuff. I was a little disappointed in the metal section though, not nearly as much stuff as I thought there would be, but their hip-hop section more than made up for it. Here's what I got:

Sweatshop Union - Water Street (2008)
Delerium - Karma (1997)
Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow (2002)
Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness (2001)
CunninLynguists - A Piece of Strange (2006)
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (1991)
The Fall - This Nation's Saving Grace (1986)

I also had a few in the hand but I ended up putting them back just because I didn't want to spend too much money. Those 7 CD's were $61 so I didn't do very bad. I immediately snatched up A Piece of Strange though because of how rare it is to find that album in CD format, most places online are trying to sell it for over $100 so to get it for $14.99 was awesome. All in all I'm very happy with my turn out this year, I think next year I'll have to return and go at it again.

Dude I went there last time I was in San Francisco ... quite the excellent store, and reasonable prices as you said. Another reason why San Francisco is amazing.

Anyways, my most recent purchases/download:
