Doesn't surprise me, considering how small the run is. Either way, I want it. It'll be reasonably priced, and that exclusivity will always get me.
 
It's been a favorite of mine for a LONG time.

Yeah there's a few that I am super stoked for, Between the Buried and Me's box at close to the top. I also want the katatonia 7". As for the all that remains LP, i think it's probably the best metal core cd ever, but I asked Phil about it a few weeks back, and they didnt do a new master for the LP :/

yeah, if my store has it, i was going to be getting it as well. I think i may also grab the Dio/Killswitch Engage split there were a few others as well i believe too that i was interested it getting.

That's all the METAL stuff, but I have a whole list of other stuff I want to get like the Flaming Lips, Sly & The Family Stone, and the Blind Melon reissue.

Has anyone heard the new Altar of Plagues album yet? It doesn't come out for another 2 weeks but I've seen a few (positive!) reviews for it already.

I am eagerly waiting it. I have seen very mixed reviews.

In many ways I think they are better at home with the sound of the first record. This second record is over produced and a stretch at times. It reminds me of when Black Sabbath did Technical Ecstasy, bombastic and over the top, loosing a little of the charm they had.

In time though this new one may get better with a couple spins. They could be a one trick pony though. The novelty of how they figured out Blue Oyster Cult was cool on the first record.

Yea I just gave it a spin. My initial impression is that its a lot better than the first record in my opinion.

It's much more varied and the tracks themselves have some very cool hooks.

But there are two things that are really bothering me....I will review this for sure...

Same here! Mammal is one of my top BM albums.
 
 
At the risk of getting flamed big time, the new Amaranthe is pretty good and ridiculously catchy. Steer clear if you don't like pop.

I liked it...in a conflicted sort of way.

This is still awesome until now. I keep on playing it from time to time.

UniVers is still my favorite from Voyager. The newer material was good live but there's something about that album from start to finish.

For Amaranthe, I like the singers. The two clean vocalists, Jake and Elize I think, have toured with Kamelot as backup singers. But this is another where I feel the song writing is boring. I won't skip them on pandora but I'd never listen to a complete album.

This one I refuse to listen to. You know it will be bad.
 
 
 
 

 
 
One new song from Dark Tranquillity's album due out end of May! This is going to be good!

I'm a big fan of Alar of Plagues as well.....that type of BM is probably my favorite...will be curious what listers think of the new AOP.

I also invested in the Splatter Edition. Which is the one I wanted as well. Hype. Now the wait begins.
