The Latest Album You've Bought?

[wintercoat]

I don't buy albums. I pay for Pandora radio, and make stations based on music I like. If I find a song or band I particularly like, I see if they have a youtube station. If they do, I'll generally subscribe, listen to their music for a bit, then return to Pandora. I'll create a custom playlist on youtube for the songs that I like and I'll listen to that for a few days out of every week, so not only is the band getting money from Pandora, but also from ad revenue through youtube.

Last one was Led Zeppelin - Mothership, for my mothers birthday... Don't think I've bought an album for myself in five years or more. There isn't much use for CDs anymore.

I got an LP player recently so I've been scouring all those creepy specialist shops to find some nice records. It's awesome, I've got about thirty albums so far and I've only spent a tenner; it's almost as if vinyl is a dead media, or something.

Other than that I bought two EP's of some lass called Daughter after I heard one of her songs on a random website, it's pleasant.

Clockwork Angels by Rush. For the answer to any music related question is ALWAYS Rush. I must've listened to it around 20-30 times by now and I'm still not tired of it.

Really, can you tell me that this isn't the shit?

Last one I bought was the live album 'By A Thread' from Devin Townsend, which also promptly took it's place as my favourite live album so far.

 

[necromanzer52]

I've never bought an album in my life, but it's looking like Green day's Uno will be the first.

If bought means obtained legally, then it's History of Houses by The Siren Tower. (can be downloaded for free legally)

If bought means paid money for, then it's Monument by Children Collide.

Last album I bought was Napalm Death's "Utilitarian".

I thought it was great. Mostly what you'd expect from Napalm except for some clean vocals. Which was kind of cool.

Also I was given Tragically Hip's best of album "Yer Favourites". Really good collection of their stuff.

R.E.M -Murmur A few weeks ago only 29 years late.

 

[Starik20X6]

Gossamer by Passion Pit. Incredible album.

Periphery's new album. Such a good album, so fun to listen to. This song is a particular highlight of mine

 

[5-0]

Gojira's L'Enfant Sauvage. Absolutely love it, and got a tshirt with the package too


...Wait, no I'm wrong. The last album I got was the limited edition of Opeth's Watershed, which includes a seperate 5.1 mix. I've been searching for it for a while. With that my Opeth special edition collection is now complete

God, I love Opeth. Blackwater Park is still one of the Best Metal Albums of recent memory.

OT: Pearl Jam's Ten. One of the Few Albums where I like every song.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

I got The Temper Traps new album... which even though is their second album, it is self titled!

Favourite track:


And the other album I got at the same time was Ufabulum by Squarepusher... Best track:

I did buy the New My Bloody Valentine EP Compilation not too long ago if that counts.

One of the best compilations I have ever bought. Also, it's a lifesaver, as the MBV EP's cost a small fortune on their own due to a very limited print run, and no rereleases.

God, I do love my Shoegaze.

 

[MrHide-Patten]

Jesus... last Album... that I bought. All the way back in 2006... or was it 2007. Can't remember.

Thank You Internet.

A Healthy Distrust by Sage Francis was my latest album purchase. It's my first Hip Hop album! Traditionally I'm a rocker/punk.country fan...

Anyway, yeah, the album was pretty awesome. Great lyrics and all that.

Before that it would have been a Gotye album, I think?

Digital album? Phantom on the Horizon by Fall of Troy, because it's an absolute ***** to find physical copies of and I just want to listen to it. Every song is just genius.


Physical album? Blue Record by Baroness, and I'm loving the hell out of it, especially the songs Swollen And Halo and Jake Leg.
