chefchino Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I actually bought the movielife discography when they signed to drive thru bc I was a fan boy. Best blind buy ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HybridxReality Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 I never gave them a chance before and the Deftones are great! I am really impressed by them. My favorite band. (: They took me a while to get into them at first, but man, I love them. White Pony is fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridxReality Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Balance and composure - the things we think were missing I had seen them several years ago opening for senses fail and wasn't impressed. But everyone was hyping it and the guy the store was telling me how rad it was. And we like a lot of similar music. It's not normally what I listen to but I dig it if I'm in the right mood. Definitely glad I bought it Justin timberlake - 20/20 experience part 2 I loved part one and thought part 2 would be as good. There are a few good songs but it's not as good as part one. Same on both accounts. I had heard a bit of B&C and really didn't care much for them, but I bought TTWTWM on a whim and ended up really liking it. As for the JT Pt. 2, I felt the same way. I have Pt. 1 on vinyl, because I love it, but I just couldn't get Pt. 2. Like you said, a couple good songs but, ehh...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Pinback - S/T Built to Spill - Ultimate Alternative Wavers Good choices.Man, I wish I had money to buy albums I haven't heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy plays bass Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I just walked into a used book/record store while wearing my Against Me New Wave shirt and saw a copy of New Wave on yellow for $45. Impulse bought that, so hopefully it turns out well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutzonborglum Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Eassentially all of Dill/Asian Man Records' catalogue. I remember filling out the forms and sending cash to Dill for Skankin' Pickles' albums. My love for the label made me buy pretty much everything they put out. Buying godammit when it came out changed my life. Everything from Slow Gherkin to Chris Murray, MU330, slapstick, 78RPMS, Tuesday, Lawrence Arms. I bought them purely because everything Mike put out was a home run. A lot of it was before you could hear audio clips online, and almost every one of them still gets regular play. I love you, Mike Park. timbrh2001 and genericvinylreference 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevorm Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Best impulse buy was Clockclearner's Babylon Rules, got it because and MRR review said it sounded ugly. Needed to hear what that meant. Amazing band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisIsHans Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 When Shadows Fall were relevant, I saw a picture of one of the guitar players wearing a Further Seems Forever shirt. I went to the music store near my house and picked up How To Start A Fire. I've listened to that more than every Shadows Fall album combined.

Kind of lost touch with the bands he's put out on the label since around 2000 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out Of Time Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Don't even. Eh, I only bought the Patti Smith Lp because I found it super cheap. Not exactly what I like to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyrobotty Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I remember reading a good review of Godspeed You Black Emperor - F#A#∞. I couldn't remember what the review said it sounded like but I had some money to burn so I bought it. It's the /500 numbered version. It's since become one of my top 5 all time albums and one of my prized possessions. TheGhostOfRandySavage and nancy_raygun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltadon Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 GOOD: Randomly went into FYE during a lunch break to kill time (working at a client in a different part of town) I had decided to pass on The Early November Rooms Too Cold press not too long ago and have pretty much been bummed about missing it. Why would I pass on that was a common thought of mine as I searched various places online for a decently priced copy. Ended up finding a copy at FYE for $14 bucks and said what the heck its the black variant but at least I will have it. Best lunch break ever!! Opened it up and was surprised it was the green/white variant which was excatly that color choice I had been pricing out! BAD: RSD 14 space project lp its not a bad record but its missing songs that are on digital version and 7" version it was pretty expensive for 1 lp missing tracks, bummed i paid that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Bateman Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Gaslight Anthems American Slang. Was my first GA sing i had heard and i went ahead and bought it. Heard 59 sound song and bought that album. When Handwritten came out I bought it without hearing a single song. Same with Horrible Crowes.

tommym49 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I picked up Poison the Well - Opposite of Decmber thinking it was something else back in early 2000, because of that random purchase not only are they one of my favorite bands but it opened me up to so many awesome early melodic/post hardcore bands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to learn it changed your life as much as it did mine. OOD and TFTR will always be classics to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdasuess Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 My dad bought my brother and I a XM radio for Christmas one year, while listening to it I heard a Underoath song that I enjoyed (at the time was into hip hop). A couple days later I went to wal-mart (the only place in town to get cds) and stumbled across they're only chasing safety, decided "what the heck" bought it without hearing any of their other stuff. Came home, put it on my cd players... and instantly thought " my goodness I have made a terrible mistake" it was just too brutal for my virgin ears at the time. Yet, instead of throwing it out I kept listening to it cause i spend $14 dollars, which was 70% of my disposable income at the time. It grew on me and eventually became my favorite album... from there I discovered tooth and nail records and solidstate. Came across a band called Norma Jean, listened to one song, thought "I should buy this" had to go to Media Play to O God, the Aftermath. Got in the car put in on my handheld cd player, and 15 seconds into the first song I thought to myself "my goodness i have made a terrible mistake" and the cycle repeated itself... From that experiance I learned to never judge an album on the first few spins and that if i spend money on an album i will make myself listen to it enough times until i like it.. deltadon, josiahmerola and Fridge Fox 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridxReality Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Underoath pretty much changed the game for me with Define the Great Line. Will always love that album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
