Crash Karma S/T

I was curious since the band members where Edwin (ex I Mother Earth), Mike Turner (ex Our Lady Peace), Jeff Burrows (ex The Tea Party). A nice surprised since it's pretty enjoyable.

I like the doll house

how much that run you?

I can't tell you, it's for your birthday

29/4? I'm not sure that counts as 'recent', you know.

I bought it from ebay so the seller is the one that took the pic that day not me.

I got this for cheaper then just the album all by itself. stupid people are stupid.

And speaking of box sets this is what I just bought:

Yeah, when I ordered the most recent Municipal Waste album from Amazon I only paid $8.99 and assumed I would get the bare-bones version but I got the deluxe version with the patches and badges and headband. Sometimes that shit just happens, so smile!

have you heard the Anni yet? Besides Paddens turrible, just turrible, vocals, some silly lyrics, and the drum machine, this album thrashes like a mother. And as you already know, Jeff is quite the shredder, so the solos are all top notch and awesome.

definitely better than Metal and All For You, don't know yet if I like it better than Schizo Deluxe.

Haven't heard it yet, but I'm one of those 3 people that actually found 'Metal' to be listenable (if not captivating) so I'm sold for sure.

I'm on a traditional metal phase. Can you tell?

Excellent selection, bro!
One I don't know is Steelwing. Can you tell me more?

They're another one of these swedish traditional heavy metal revivalists. Melodic, air-siren high pitched vocals, the whole deal.

Haven't heard the whole album yet, but what I've heard is pretty damn good. Faster and slightly heavier than Enforcer, and not quite as slick as White Wizzard. Youtube them up, they have a couple of official clips already, I think.

That certainly is appealing, I love both Enforcer (with reservation on the vocalist though) & White Wizzard. Will check them out, thanks.

The guy actually has a similar "high pitched for the sake of it" thing going on as the Enforcer guy, so you might have some reservations there too.

Since I like the rest of your list, I'll try it anyway.

got:

in the mail today, will listen later...

That one has always been a mild disappointment for me. Emphasis on the mild, but still a disappointment.

The first couple of spins I loved it boundlessly, then the realisation sunk in that it wasn't anywhere near as timeless as their older stuff. I guess I did myself no favours by listening to By Inheritance a lot in the lead-up to its release.

I still really like the album. One of the better thrash releases from last year, in fact. It's just less unique than those albums which previously carried the Artillery name.

Where do you shop?
