In any format.
Last night I ordered a CD through Barnes and Noble online:
Hair [Original Soundtrack: 20th Anniversary Edition]
(http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/522/26735691.jpg) (http://img408.imageshack.us/i/26735691.jpg/)
The last thing I bought was Journey's Greatest Hits (1 of the 15 or so greatest hits albums they've got), and Stone in Love. That was about 3 weeks ago though.

At about 2:30 in the morning I decided to treat myself to some new music, so I ordered 3 CDs from Walmart. They should be at my house anywhere from 5 to 10 days.
I ordered a new portable CD player a few hours before that as well. It should arrive at my house in the same amount of time.
The CDs are:
Floating by Eloy
I've never heard anything by Eloy, but they looked really good and I've been wanting to try some new things too.

Agents of Fortune by Blue Oyster Cult
I love Blue Oyster Cult! This will be my 3rd album by them.

Freak Out! by Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention
I've never heard anything by them, but they look really good, they seem pretty weird (always a bonus!), and I've had several people that know me really well recommend them to me.

Fatback - Hot Box (1980)
and Liquid Gold - Greatest Hits
Over the past few weeks I've been buying some cheap CD's I've come across in thrift stores. Some I'm sort of familiar with or know what I'm getting in to and the rest are on impulse and the results vary. All of these were from $0.50 to $1.50:

I ordered yet another CD through Walmart.com:
Dare to Be Stupid by Weird Al Yankovic
I've heard only a little of Weird Al, but I like what I have heard enough to order a CD! I also saw his movie (UHF) which also increased my desire to get a CD.
(http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/6980/alb3b.jpg) (http://img339.imageshack.us/i/alb3b.jpg/)
I ordered yet another CD, this time through Best Buy online:
Who's Next by The Who
I already have two CDs by The Who (Endless Wire and Tommy) and they are both really good, but I wanted to hear more.
(http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/7307/thewhowhosnext.jpg) (http://img85.imageshack.us/i/thewhowhosnext.jpg/)
It should arrive at my house sometime from June 25th to July 2nd!

Decent album overall, but I'm a bit biased as I have all his albums, cheesy compilations included. One suggestion: if you can find it, grab
The Essential Weird Al Yankovic. It's relatively cheap, coming in around $15 (various stores have it cheaper), and it's a 2 disc compilation of a cross of his best known parodies: "Eat It", "Smells Like Nirvana", "Lasagna", "White and Nerdy", as well as some of his best known Non-Parodies: "You Don't Love Me Anymore", "Dare to Be Stupid", "Pancreas", and "Bob."

Thanks for the information! I've heard about
The Essential Weird Yankovic and it looks really nice, but when I first buy an artist's CDs I like to start with non-compilation albums. Still I've heard it has some new stuff so I'll look it into it.

The second disc has stuff from his '99, '03 and '06 releases. As much as I like Al's work, I generally suggest a compilation to people, as most people aren't 'hardcore' fans of him like myself and a few others, and they can only take so much of his output. The compilation's have the best-written stuff, as some cd's have a few songs that are not-so-good.
HappyGilmore -
I won't say that I will definitely become a hardcore fan, but I have a very broad range of comedic tastes ranging from very clever and witty to very corny and stupid, so I feel confident I'll be more into him than most people.
I also feel admiration for Weird Al as it's pretty cool how he managed to make a living!
Again, thanks for the information!
Something for Everybody by Devo. New album, came out last week. A really good output, really. Most people chuckle, as it's "Devo."
Raw Power by Iggy and The Stooges.
The Best of Kiss: Volume 3
Bought a second copy of Baton Rouge's Shake Your Soul cd (1990). My original copy isn't working anymore as I actually wore it out playing it that much! :lookingup:
Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd- based somewhat due to a suggestion from AHD. Good album. :wink:
Raw Power by Iggy and The Stooges. Again, seen AHD mention it and suggest it, and being familiar with Iggy's solo stuff, decided to grab it.
Amazon:
Donna Allen - Perfect Timing (1986)
Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctg8YjuoLjM
The Essential Elvis Presley
Did because I've always loved Elvis, but realized I have no Elvis at all.
Bought Van Halen's '95 Balance album, which was recommended to me by my former manager. I can't get into it at all, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge is still way better in terms of Van Hagar stuff...
Lately I've bought several cassettes from my favorite thrift store:

Do you get a bulk discount Sleepyskull?
No, but I've also been ordering from different sites. Mostly Amazon, but Dokken and Quiet Riot are coming from Deep Discount (My first order from there). However, everything else I've bought in person from stores nearby. Mostly thrift stores, which is the only reason I can afford all this. Also, cassettes are always cheaper in thrift stores.

Raging Slab (1989)
Great debut album of southern infused hard rock, very fresh sound and now one of my fave all-time albums. "Get Off My Jollies" is kick ass along with mellow stand-out "Love Comes Loose". The picture is from the Rock Candy re-issue this year, as the band hated the original cover shot. :thumbup:
I got a WalMart giftcard for Christmas, so I purchased 2 CDs, which should arrive at my local store soon:

Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus
(http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq64/voltron_014/amorphistki.jpg)
I've been on a bit of a CD buying binge lately since we got our tax refund... this is what I've obtained lately...
Metallica - BEYOND MAGNETIC EP
Scorpions - COMEBLACK
Accept - RESTLESS & WILD
Cinderella - NIGHT SONGS
Deep Purple - DEEPEST PURPLE: THE BEST OF
Overkill - THE ELECTRIC AGE
And a bunch of discs from the uber-cheap budget price "EXTENDED VERSIONS" live series from BMG/Sony... Megadeth, Anthrax, Alice Cooper, and Motorhead.
Three more CDs today... and at least three more comin' in the mail from GoHastings.com this week.. woohoo!
Guns N Roses - CHINESE DEMOCRACY (a buddy picked this up for me at his local dollar store, of all places...hahaha. For a buck, it actually ain't a bad spin.)
Motorhead - 1916
Sex Pistols - EXTENDED VERSIONS
Once this binge is over I will have to stop for a while, before my wife staples my nuts to my forehead. ("You ordered MORE #$%&ing CDs?")
I'm still waiting for the new Overkill record to arrive. :bluesad:
Quote from: Circus Circus on April 03, 2012, 05:05:00 AM
I'm still waiting for the new Overkill record to arrive. :bluesad:
I got lucky, my local "cool" independent record store had it out on the shelves a couple of days before the official "street" date so I snapped it up. I love when shops do that. :teddyr:
Anyway, it's a bad-ass record and I think you'll dig it when you hear it!!
The local public library was having their annual Book Sale today so in addition to some cool geeky stuff like Star Wars and Aliens Vs. Predator paperback novels and a bad-ass "Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man" reprint compendium (the first 31 issues all in one book!), I scored a couple of CDs as well:
Heart - DOG & BUTTERFLY (1978, remaster w/bonus tracks)
Heart - JUPITER'S DARLING (2004)
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - THE BEST OF ELP (never been much of a prog-rock fan, but the last track is Greg Lake's solo Christmas single "I Believe In Father Christmas" and I love listening to that one at holiday time...)
New Accept album, along with new Overkill album. Both easily the best metal releases of the year so far.
Picked up the new Joey Ramone solo disc, "YA KNOW?" today.

Coupla used-CD bargains...
Misfits - WALK AMONG US
Cinderella - HEARTBREAK STATION
Def Leppard - ON THROUGH THE NIGHT

Just about to set off to buy my girlfriend the new Fear Factory album.
Scored a used copy of this oldie but goody today:

That is Prong's best album, ever, IMO and one of the best releases of this year so far. :thumbup:

U2 - The Joshua Tree and Live Under a Blood Red Sky
Loverboy - Big Ones
Various - Have A Nice Day: Super Hits of the '70s Vol. 13 (random Rhino Records comp that I grabbed cuz it had Golden Earring's "Radar Love" on it, as well as Reunion's "Life is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me)," which my friend's band used to cover...)
Nirvana - Bleach, Incesticide, Unplugged In New York
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
...finally getting around to upgrading some of my Seattle sounds from cassette to CD. Hey, better late than never. :D

(http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq64/voltron_014/Einsturzende-Neubauten-8083-Strategies-Against-Architecture.jpg)
I picked up the new Dokken CD, Broken Bones, a couple of days ago...haven't had time to give it more than a cursory listen yet, though.
Now That's What I Call Christmas!- two disc set of Holiday tunes. Disc one, classics, Disc Two...newer songs.
Phobia by Breaking Benjamin
Sublime by Sublime
Alvin & The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked Motion Picture Soundtrack
Picked up KISS' new one, Monster, today.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/KissMonsterAlbum2.jpg/220px-KissMonsterAlbum2.jpg)
I got the Best Buy "exclusive" version which has a ginchy-cool lenticular 3-D thingy on the cover so it looks like Paul's hand is reachin' out of the picture to grab your soul! Woooooo!
Steve Von Till - If I Should Fall To The Field
(http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq64/voltron_014/If_I_Should_Fall_To_The_Field-Steve_Von_Till_480.jpg)
Bump... this thread hasn't seen much action in a while. Am I the only one who still purchases music? (Shudder) That's a scary thought. :teddyr:
Anyway, this past week I picked up this pair from WalMart...
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51%2BO8Vqv-%2BL.jpg)
I figured it was about time I owned me some of Unca Ted's material aside from his work with Damn Yankees and this was a nice cheap starter...
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61cuM2%2BIRmL._SY300_.jpg)
I usually skip compilations but this one has a couple of unreleased tracks on it, including "Electra," which would've been on RJD's concept album "Magica II" had he lived to complete it.
I also ordered a bunch of cheap as hell used CDs from GoHastings, the first batch arrived today:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/71/The_Donnas_-_Gold_Medal.jpg)
The Donnas - Gold Medal
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/34/Airbourne-Runnin%27Wild.jpg)
Airbourne - Runnin' Wild
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/46/Tesla_Bustanut.jpg)
Tesla - Bust A Nut
yeah I just bought 2 CDs on lunch break earlier today
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSpaS1z3p1L6CXpE8NbTZHRYvDc2lXXOzIww-sb-V4lBiZAMv47)
Goldie/Rufige Crew - Memoirs Of An afterlife. Not bad although pretty average and nowhere nears as good as Timeless. ("well obviously", I hear you say)
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4156GT5QJHL.jpg)
Irv Gotti - The Inc. this was cheap. not surprised, its horrible. from 2002, and proves my theory that hip hop/rap stopped being good in 1998
'nother one from GoHastings arrived in today's mail....
Ace Frehley - Anomaly
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/09/Cover_anomaly_small.jpg)
I ordered a "Used" copy for $2.49, but it arrived new & still sealed...I love when that happens. :teddyr:
The CD case is some kind of goofy ass digi-pak that unfolds into a pyramid shape, presumably so you can use it to contact Ace on his home planet of Jendell, or whatever.
Cool album, dumbest gimmick packaging ever.

That's the second time it has happened with this batch of orders from Hastings (the other being the Donnas'
Gold Medal), and it's happened a couple of other times when I've ordered from them in the past too.
Anyway, three more arrived in today's mail:
(http://heavyharmonies.com/cdcovers/A/ADRIANGALE1.JPG)
AdrianGale FEEL THE FIRE - '80s style melodic hard rock, ala Dokken or Firehouse.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4162YG4P26L.jpg)
Sloppy sounding live tape of the short lived "Mark IV" lineup of Purple (w/David Coverdale and Tommy Bolin)
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51JjgfWoRSL._SX300_.jpg)
Live gig from 2005
Still waiting for two more from this batch to arrive, hopefully by Monday.
Scorn - Zander
(http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq64/voltron_014/scorn-zander_zpsc09370dc.jpg)
Last two stragglers from my GoHastings.com order arrived a few days ago...
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a5/Chris_Caffery_faces.jpg)
Solo debut from the guitarist of Savatage. I ordered this "used," but it arrived new and still sealed... and it was even the special deluxe 2-CD edition with a bonus disc full of extra tracks, all for a mere for $1.74. This is why I love ordering used stuff from this site. :teddyr:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0e/Hunt-guinf.jpg)
Career-spanning compilation of the Christian pop-punk band that basically picked up where the Ramones left off.
I bought the deluxe edition of the new David Bowie album "The Next Day" last week on iTunes on release day. Great to have him back!
Coupla oldies but goodies receiving long overdue upgrades from cassette to CD:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/59/Black_Sabbath_Vol._4.png)
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/78/Cheap_Trick_In_Color.jpg)
The rest of my cheap heap from GoHastings arrived today. There's a whole bunch so I'll refrain from posting pix.
Spinal Tap - Back From the Dead (CD/DVD)
Aerosmith - Honkin' On Bobo
Warrrant - Born Again
Deep Purple - When We Rock, We Rock and When We Roll, We Roll

(can't post a pic, Photobucket's acting up)
Abbey Road by The Beatles
Becoming X by Sneaker Pimps
Abigor-Nachthymnen (From The Twilight Kingdom) / Orkblut - The Retaliation
(http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq64/voltron_014/abigor2_zpsde5c4d85.jpg)
I was in Walmart this morning before work and picked this up...
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3e/Queensryche_with_Geoff_Tate_-_Frequency_Unknown.jpg)
For the unaware, this technically isn't a "Queensryche" album... this is their lead singer Geoff Tate, who was fired earlier this year, and a gang of hired guns he put together to crank out a quick record using the Queensryche name before he and the rest of the band go to court to decide who owns the rights to it later this year.
The "other" Queensryche, with new lead singer Todd LaTorre, will release their album late next month... then things should get very interesting, very quickly... :question:
Masonna - Inner Mind Mystique
(http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq64/voltron_014/Inner_Mind_Mystique_zps0d8496f8.jpg) (http://s434.photobucket.com/user/voltron_014/media/Inner_Mind_Mystique_zps0d8496f8.jpg.html)
Picked up God Bless Tiny Tim yesterday.
Robert Rich & B. Lustmord - Stalker
(http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq64/voltron_014/rrichblustmord_zpsdceb2cf8.jpg)
Fields Of The Nephilim - Mourning Sun
(http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq64/voltron_014/fieldsofthenephilimmour_zpsb4442089.jpg)
I picked up a greatest hits compilation by MC Lars
Finally got around to picking up the new self-titled Queensryche album (with new lead vocalist Todd LaTorre) today.
The only copies Best Buy had were the super-duper "deluxe mini box" set version which contains a digi-pak version of the CD (with three live bonus tracks) plus a Queensryche logo patch, some pin-back buttons, a sticker and a Queensryche guitar pick. Neat-O.
Cool thrift store pickup of the week: 2-CD remastered edition of Deep Purple's legendary live album Made In Japan ... for only fifty cents! Woohoo! :teddyr:
Bored today @ work, took a lunch time trip to Best Buy (whose CD selection gets smaller and smaller every time I visit) for the sheer hell of it and came out with Stryper's newest disc, Second Coming.
Random thrift store pickups. Kind of an odd mix of styles.
Jackyl - S/T
Yes - Fragile
The Queers - Beyond the Valley...
L.A. Guns - Covered In Guns
Sara Evans - Real Fine Place (Lately I've discovered that I have a weakness for country/pop music sung by hot women...)
Picked up Heavy Metal Music by Newsted (new band featuring former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted) at Wal-Mart today.
A few more thrift-store pickups:
Various - Powermad 2000: The Fourth Legacy (2CD) - power metal compilation (given to attendees of the "Powermad" prog/power metal festival) featuring Jag Panzer, Raven, October 31, Overlorde, and loads more.
Extreme - II: Pornograffiti
Rainbow - Long Live Rock N Roll
Picked up the new Motorhead album, Aftershock, at Best Buy today. Their version comes with a bonus live DVD. Sweet!
Amber Asylum - Bitter River
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGcCwb_TCAs
Three albums by The Ocean Blue: The Ocean Blue, Cerulean, and Ultramarine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-JZE9EeE68
Another thrift store score: 1994 remastered version of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon for a buck.
Got a couple of Best Buy gift cards for Christmas so today I picked up...
Megadeth - Super Collider (Best Buy special edition w/3 bonus tracks)
Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi - Seventh Star (random pickup from the five-dollar bin)
Leash Law - Dogface
Sole album by a shortlived heavy metal "super group" of minor leaguers like vocalist Wade Black (Crimson Glory), drummer Richard Christy (Death, Iced Earth) and a couple of former members of the early 90s prog/death metal band Nocturnus.
This past week I celebrated my one-year anniversary of giving up tobacco, so I rewarded myself with some cheap used CDs...
Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears (2002 reissue w/2 bonus tracks)
Stryper - Extended Versions (live)
Ratt - Out of the Cellar
Dokken - Yesterday & Today (live)
Prong - Cleansing
Motorhead - March or Die
HammerFall - Threshold

Suzanne Vega â€" Fool's Complaint (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxUyNEVdAd0#ws)
Warrant - Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich
Beau Nasty - Dirty, But Well Dressed
KISS - Killers (import greatest-hits comp from '82, with four "new" songs that are unavailable on any other album)
Tesla - Into the Now
Lvcifyre - The Calling Depths (British occult metal)
Dixie Chicks - Taking The Long Way
Not my usual meat, but it was only a buck in the thrift store, and it features their post-backlash anthem "Not Ready To Make Nice," which is such a great F-you song.
A few more recent pickups:
Dead On Arrival - Alive and Kickin' (1995) This was just too weird to pass up, it's an independent release by a New York area hard rock band. It sounds pretty much like I expected - a low budget recording of some local yokels copying KISS, Priest and Motley Crue. Song titles include "Hot Babes" (yes, really!), "The Girl Next Door," "Honey Dipper" and "Hot Blooded/Cold Hearted." This would've been hopelessly out of date in 1985, never mind 1995.
Bad Company - 10 From 6 - greatest hits compilation from the classic rock band
Krokus - Extended Versions - Yet another entry in the never-ending budget price line of concert discs, this time by the Swiss hard rock/metal band. Sounds like they're aging well.
Bigtime garage sale score today...
Led Zeppelin - S/T, II, III, Houses of the Holy
Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies
The Doors - L.A. Woman
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Grand Funk Railroad - Closer to Home

Aerosmith - Live! Bootleg
Pentagram - Last Rites CD (2011)
Sanctuary - The Year the Sun Died CD (2014)
BIG TIME Metal score at the thrift store today! Some possible trade bait but a few keepers as well. I haven't hit a motherload like this in awhile...
Testament - Low, Practice What You Preach and Demonic
Sepultura - Beneath the Remains, Blood Rooted, Against and Roots
Megadeth - Killing Is My Business... (Combat Recs.copy, sadly a later press w/o "These Boots")
Various - Tales From the Crypt Presents: Demon Knight (soundtrack)
Death - Live In L.A.: Death & Raw
Jane's Addiction - Ritual De La Habitual

picked up a goody via BestBuy.com earlier this week... deluxe reissue of Twisted Sister's 1982 debut Under The Blade, with the four-track Ruff Cuts EP added as bonus tracks, plus a DVD of TS's breakthrough performance at the 1982 Reading Festival. An absolute steal for 3.99!!

Riot - Fire Down Under
Hatchet - Awaiting Evil
Various - Leppardmania: A Tribute to Def Leppard
Today I got to do something that I haven't done in a couple of years (yes, I said YEARS!)... visit a real, live, honest to frickin-Gawd RECORD STORE (remember those?)!!
... I had to visit my company's main office for my annual review today. I don't get out that way very often anymore so when I passed a hole-in-the-wall mom & pop record shop (which I last visited in probably 2012 or so) naturally I had to stop in for a peek... and I am glad I did. A few minutes of scrounging and I came up with these:
Tora Tora - Surprise Attack
Helloween - I Want Out! Live (I haven't seen this on CD in... well, ever!)
Whitesnake - Good To Be Bad
I've purchased a crap-ton of CDs recently. Off the top of my head:
In Solitude - Sister
Inquisition - Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm
Inquisition - Obscure Verses for the Multiverse
Cattle Decapitation - Humanure
Mercyful Fate - In the Shadows
Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
Iron Maiden - Killers
Godflesh - A World Lit Only By Fire
King Diamond - The Eye
Morbid Angel - Blessed Are the Sick
Morbid Angel - Covenant
Mortician - Hacked Up For Barbecue/Zombie Apocalypse
Twisted Sister - Under the Blade
Twisted Sister - Love is for Suckers
Repulsion - Horrified
Candlemass - Nightfall
Another visit to the home office this week (twice in one month, I think that's a record), another stop @ the record store on the way home:
Deep Purple - Burn
Twisted Sister - Come Out and Play

I've purchased a crap-ton of CDs recently. Off the top of my head:
Godflesh - A World Lit Only By Fire
As a Godflesh fan from years back I felt that what I'd heard from A World....was kinda sad for me. There's nothing better than an older band coming back out there and showing the young'uns how it's done. Unfortunately from what I've heard of this one was pretty mediocre and tired. I think a big problem is Justin's newfound infatuation with an 8-string guitar which is somewhat pointless and unnecessary. Godflesh for me were THE ultimate marriage of metal metting industrial (f**k Ministry, Fear Factory(POSERS!) and the like). They were the first and the best at what they did. Everybody points to Streetcleaner as their defining moment but it was the Pure album which did it for me. I loved how they started to incorporate melodic elements and clean vocals into the mix. Speaking of mix - the production on that album was fantastic given the fact that it was recorded on an 8 track cassette machine. The Selfless abum - while still fairly good - was an all digital recording and it's the reason why I say I don't prefer digital recording these days. Nowadays I'd rather listen to Jesu rather than pulling out their early classics so I have absolutely no idea what I'm ranting on about. Sorry about the little tirade DWV. The namedrop just sparked something I guess.
That's okay, voltron.
Recently bought:
Cannibal Corpse - Butchered at Birth
Death - Vivus!
Alice Cooper - From the Inside
GRINDCRUSHER (It's an old compilation of several death metal, thrash metal and grindcore songs. They even have Godflesh's Streetcleaner song on here).
GoHastings.com was having a "buy 2, get 1 free" sale on used CDs over the weekend so I jumped on a couple of cheapies... the first one arrived today.
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9c/Extreme_%28_Extreme_album_-_cover_art%29.jpg/220px-Extreme_%28_Extreme_album_-_cover_art%29.jpg)
I recently dug this one outta my age-old cassette stash and have been playing it quite a bit so I figured it was time to give it an upgrade.
I've had a pretty good run o' luck in the thrift-store CD bins over the past couple of weeks...
KISS - Gene Simmons, Peter Criss and Paul Stanley (1978 solo albums)
ZZ Top - Greatest Hits
Weird Al Yankovic - Off the Deep End
38 Special - Flashback
Dixie Chicks - Fly
Quarterflash - Harden my Heart: The Best of Quarterflash
Motorhead - Motorizer
New American Shame - self titled
Thrift store mojo still risin'! Got this for a buck today:
Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - Greatest Hits (2CD)
Iron Maiden - The Book of Souls
(Got it one day prior to the official release date too! This is why I support indie record stores! Haha)
As of a few days ago:
Death - Leprosy
Fantastic album. Raw, eerie and downright evil sounding at times. Definitely an old school death metal classic.
(http://www.metalinjection.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Death-Leprosy.jpg)
Death - Human
Arguably their finest hour. Every song is diabolically catchy and well crafted.
(http://www.metal-archives.com/images/6/0/6/606.jpg?0305)
Six Feet Under - Crypt of the Devil
Definitely a better release than Warpath, True Carnage, Bringer of Blood, Commandement and the Graveyard Classics but not as awesome as Undead, Haunted and Death Rituals. As good as it is, Crypt of the Devil should've been an EP because the first three songs (Gruesome, Open Coffin Orgy, Broken Bottle Rape) and Lost Remains are without question the strongest on the CD.
(http://www.nocleansinging.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Six-Feet-Under-Crypt-of-the-Devil-e1429552271731.jpg)

Twisted Sister - Club Daze Vol. II: Live in the Bars (paid "used" price but it came as a new & sealed cut out)
Prong - Rude Awakening
Anthrax - State of Euphoria
Helmet - Meantime
Last one of my Cyber Monday haul came today:
Various - Metallic Assault: A Tribute to Metallica
Not my usual kind of listening fare, but last night I randomly decided to pick up a copy of ELO's greatest hits.

'nother Goodwill Store pickup. CDs were half off on Friday so instead of the usual 99 cents, I got this one for 50 cents!
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a5/Liz_Phair_-_Liz_Phair.jpg)
I figured the song "Why Can't I" and the cover photo alone were worth that much. :teddyr:
Bought a Credence Clearwater Revival CD the other day at Best Buy, I think it was about $5.
My car has the ability to copy music from CDs over to an internal hard drive, so I copied the music over so I'd have it handy.

The Black Crowes - Shake Your Money Maker
R.E.M. - Out of Time
Pat Benatar - Wide Awake in Dreamland

Even more Goodwill pickups...

Bush - Sixteen Stone
From Best Buy:
Metal Church - XI
A bunch of indie metal goodness from CDBaby:
Rocka Rollas - The War of Steel Has Begun (reissue +5 bonus tracks) and Pagan Ritual

I drove home from work in a gully-washer of a thunder and lightning storm tonight. It was raining so hard that it was tough to see where I was going, so I decided to pull off the road and root around the Goodwill Store for a while in the hopes that it would give the storm time to blow over. CD pickin's there have been slim the past few times I'd visited but I scored some goodies this time out...
U2 - War (West German green/purple "Target" disc-print version)
U2 - The Unforgettable Fire
Heart - Greatest Hits
David Lee Roth - Eat'em And Smile
The Pretenders - Learning To Crawl
Part one of what will likely be my last used-CD haul from GoHastings (because their corporate demise is imminent) arrived today ... a few more are still in transit:
L.A. Guns - Hollywood Vampires
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols
Van Halen - Fair Warning (remaster)
Van Halen - A Different Kind of Truth

Wait, how are you ordering these? I went to their site and all they have a message telling me they're going out of business. Did you place the orders before they announced their closing or something?

Yep, I placed my last order with GoHastings about a week before the closings were made official. I received the last CD from that batch in the mail on Wednesday, July 20th - and they announced their liquidation the very next day, on Thursday the 21st. Timing is everything :D

One of these things is not like the other...
Well, I've bought a few CDs from Hastings.
Pulp Fiction soundtrack (had the cassette, but hadn't ever had a chance to get the CD)
Goldfinger-Stomping Ground bought it for their cover of "99 Red Balloons" (which is, IMHO, is REALLY good), that's really only thing I knew from the band, but it had a few other cool songs too.
From Zero-One Nation Under - I really know nothing about this band, I bought the CD because the cover caught my attention and it was less than two dollars after a discount. So, I figured what the heck.
After Dark: The Alternative Gothic Rock Collection - Again, of the 14 or so bands on this CD, I've only actually heard of about three of them. Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but I figured, again, at less than $2 I'm sure I'll find at least one song I like.
For the curious, the CD has groups like The Jesus and Mary Chain (heard of, but don't think I've ever heard of their tracks), The Cure, Nightwish, etc.

Original MastersRush -
Fly By NightBoston -
Don't Look Back Rolling Stones -
Rewind 1971-1984
Perris Records (an '80s style hard rock/metal web store) is having a clearance sale so I wandered over there, took a peek and gambled on a handful of ultra cheap unknowns, which arrived today...
Crawler - Knight of the Word
Hammered - The Beginning
Rising Dust - Taste of Fire
Icy Steel - Kronothor
Crawler was $1.95, the others were 99 cents apiece, I figured that was cheap enuff to risk on some unfamiliar names. Rising Dust are French stoner rockers (the cover of Motörhead's "Iron Horse/Born to Lose" sold me) and the rest appear to be Italian power/trad metal bands. Perris threw in a couple of their trademark freebie sampler CDs as well. Neat-O.
Now I got me some listening to do...

Temple of the Dog -s/t
Various - Masters of Metal: Wreaking Havoc 1975-85, Vol. II

Powerman 5000 - Tonight the Stars Revolt!

While visiting my Mom yesterday, my brother took me a few towns over to a cool "pop culture junk shop" (comics, used CDs/vinyl, video games, action figures, etc.) he's been meaning to show me for a while - cool little hole in the wall place with a lot of neat stuff, but everything is so haphazard (boxes upon boxes of stuff piled everywhere) that it would've taken me all day to do a halfway decent scrounge... there were a few racks of CDs I couldn't even get to cuz there was so much crap in the way. Still managed to come away with these for five bucks a pop:
Guns N Roses - GnR Lies and Use Your Illusion I
Deep Purple - Slaves and Masters
Sebastian Bach - Kicking and Screaming (w/bonus DVD)

Besides, I have given up all hope of ever finding legit copies of them out "in the wild." :D
