Nice one. That's the album I always recommend to someone unfamiliar with 70's Aerosmith. It rocks hard, but without all the overplayed "hits".

Yeah, I think this and the red-cover Greatest Hits is all I need...

Normally I disagree when you mention that a particular collection is all you need from some of these staple bands (just my opinion, of course), but this time I am okay with it. I would say maybe if someone was able to give you a third homemade comp CD with a few more key tracks from their first few albums, you could be set.

Between those two comps, you don't get some of the good stuff like "Sick as a Dog", or most importantly the song "Toys in the Attic". But as far as bands with a good chunk of classic records go, those two comps are pretty solid if that's all you have in your collection.

Today:

Murple - Io Sono Murple

Anathema- Falling Deeper
Gotthard- Firebirth (w/bonus track)

Yeah, I'm diggin' it quite a bit. Looks like this is the only thing they ever released. Too bad.

I just looked this up on Amazon, as the name of the band was interesting to me. The reviews refer to them as an Italian prog rock band. The only expierence I have with anything that would be called an Italian prog rock band is Goblin and Claudio Simonetti. By way of Dario Argento film, of course. I have no clue how well Goblin typifies Italian prog rock though.

COMMUNIC - The Bottom Deep on vinyl, signed

I swear! This one was in Burlington, a city a bit more upper class than I am, so I don't often go there. Ironically, all but the Strife disc were $3.99 or less.

Thank you. How do you think they sound against the remixes? I think it flows really well and Heart of Metal (the song) and Locked in Chains sound as good as the new songs.

Encrust - From Birth To Soil
