I just got Underoath's new album that comes out in June and it's pretty good.

The new Brand New album that hasn't been released looks to be awesome. I think the version I have of it is the preproduction of it.

Angels and Airwaves (Tom Delonge from Blink's new band) isn't bad. I've gotten half of the cd or so and what I've heard isn't bad.

Taking Back Sunday has a new one that I'm looking forward to. I've gotten half of the cd but haven't listened to it yet.

[SuperJon]

Say Anything's new one (...Was A Real Boy) is pretty good.

[El Scorcho]

Show Your Bones - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Educated Horses - Rob Zombie
The Back Room - Editors
Directions (The Video Album) - Death Cab for Cutie

These aren't new, but I also picked them up this week:

How to Save a Life - The Fray
Descended Like Vultures - Rogue Wave
Eye to the Telescope - KT Tunstall

MercyMe. new album released in April!

[SuperJon]

Show Your Bones - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Is that good? I've been debating getting it.

[Sly Fox]

Further proof I'm getting old ... Rob Zomblie & Mercy me are the only two artists in this thread I've ever heard of.

[bigsmooth]

your'e old?? i have not heard of any of these groups!

[El Scorcho]

Show Your Bones - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Is that good? I've been debating getting it.

Depends on what you like. I personally think their earlier stuff has been kind of chaotic. This album is definitely more thought-out and structured. I enjoy that.

I stopped listening to the radio when I was a sophmore in High School. I've been out of the loop for so long it's not funny. I've heard of a few of those bands though.

[bigsmooth]

im a talk radio fan myself, and since i have XM, i never listen to regular radio stations.

I don't listen to the radio. Haven't for at least 7 or 8 years now.

[ATrain]

I'm coming out as a pirate...I don't buy albums, I just listen to the radio and download songs I like...ARGH MATIES!!!

[Sly Fox]

Puffy shirts are cool.

[SuperJon]

Oh, all those albums I listed were downloaded.

I never listen to the radio. I'm into a different "scene" than the radio music.

you havn't missed anything really knaps...

just cookie cutter bands....getting stamped out on the assembly line

i'm excited for the new zombie album as well as the new Smashing Pumpkins album

[A.G.]

I'm still waiting for the new ELO Album. I hear that there's a move away from 8-track to cassettes, but I'll believe that when I see it. What's next, the end of LP's?

[PAmedic]

I'm wacky when it comes to music. I rarely buy anything at all but it tends to be sorta eclectic.

My last 10 purchases were:

Toby Mac: Diversity
Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA
Warrant: DRFSR
Green Day: Dookie
Warrant: Best of
Skid Row: self-titled
Pillar: Where do we go from here
Sheryl Crow: C'mon, c'mon
Ratt: Out of the Cellar
Cypress Hill: Stoned Raiders

[LUconn]

have you only made 10 purchases since 1985?

[PAmedic]

pathetic, isn't it?

I actually bought the Led Zepplin box set when it came out on CD back in 90 or 91 but it resides somewhere in north Jersey w/ an ex of mine. Still upset about that.

At some point I bought most of Ozzy's stuff on CD to replace my cassettes. Thats what I'm doing nowadays- replacing old cassettes.

Gotta get my Stryper collection updated next. Maybe in time for the wedding!

[Sly Fox]

Nearly all of my recent purchases have involved the Veggies or Wiggles.

My wife bought me the latest from Toby Mac & Switchfoot for Christmas. Prior to that my last music purchase was the first Casting Crowns release.

In general, I don't listen to much music these days. Frankly its because most of today's new stuff bores me. Creativity has been in short supply in recent years in just about every genre. Although I admit finding reggaeton rather entertaining even if I can't understand that Puerto Rican slang (too many contractions).

In general I am locked into one of several sports talk stations down here. My job requires me to be on top of the rumblings that the hacks on the radio are parroting. When I'm riding with the kids in the car its eitherthe local Christian station or some of their CDs. Although my kids absolutely love the aforementioned Toby Mac release.

[RubberMallet]

i haven't bought a cd in 8 years

[El Scorcho]

Creativity has been in short supply in recent years in just about every genre.

I disagree. I think you just have to look a lot harder for it than you used to. However, I don't think most people have the time to go searching for it. Thanks to the RIAA and Clear Channel Communications, the radio will never deliver creativity en masse again.

[SuperJon]

Yea, there is a ton of creativity in music nowadays in the underground scene. Corporate radio just plays the cookie cutter stuff.

[Brokeback Flamer]

Let s see, albums I can't wait to or just bought

Village People - YMCA and Beyond
Barbara Striesand - For the boi's
Rob Holford (ex Judas Priest lead) - You thought I was talking about HER?
Elton John - It s Raining Men and othe remixes
David Bowie
Allanis Morriset
Barry Manilow

Recent Purchases -
Educated Horses is pretty good. Doesn't break any new ground, but LOVE the beats and guitars. Good work out music.
TOTO - Greatest hits. Hold The Line is an underrated classic
HEART - Crazy On You is really a "dirty song" who knew
Kansas - Fire /Fire very upbeat and underrated
Hall and Oates - Family Man. Enough said

Can't wait for the new Metallica. Been hearing a clip called Astronomy and it is hot.

Well, I am stuck in the 80's Who cares!

[El Scorcho]

Can't wait for the new Metallica. Been hearing a clip called Astronomy and it is hot.

Astronomy is a cover of Blue Oyster Cult and is on Disc 1 of the "Garage, Inc." double-album. Sorry dude. I will say that if the new album isn't better than St. Anger, they're probably over with for me. I wasn't down on them until that album, but man was it bad.
