Still haven't gotten my copy of the new Amorphis yet. I ordered it over a week ago and I usually get my ordered CDs after 4-5 days. Guess I need to contact the seller.

I got mine from Amazon with free prime 2-day shipping

The new Amorphis is really good.

Yeah, I go through the Marketplace sellers to save a few bucks. Usually I get them quicker but for some reason this is taking a while. The mailman may have screwed it up because he isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. Too often we get someone else's mail in our box. I know this stuff happens but three days ago he gave me 6-7 letters for the elementary school next door and even though I kept the letters in the box and put the flag up, he put it down and left the letters. He almost did it the next day, but lukily I was there to correct him. Unfortunatly, I can't contact the seller because the CD still has another week to get here before it's a problem.

So far this year my spending has been greatly curtailed but:

Stryper - Second Coming
Heretic - A Time of Crisis
Volbeat - Outlaw Gentleman and Shady Ladies

I am really looking forward to:

Theocracy
Stryper
Heretic - Box Set
Megadeth
Whitesnake - Made in Japan

Mine SHOULD be, but when I get the itch... Luckily, there wasn't a whole lot of stuff during my CD shopping so I didn't spend TOO much. Until I get on the road with my trucking career though, I need to reel it in.

Hey, I will have a lot of time on my hands when I'm a truck driver! I will have plenty of time to shop around and maybe get some of the deals Eyesore talks about.

I get that for sure.

I only have 100 bucks each month to spend, which doesn't get me a whole lot. I remember when I was single and it was 500 a month. CD's everywhere...

Damn, it's mid-May and I have bought a total of two 2013 releases. However, I am enjoying both:

Ghost - Infesstisumam
Gama Bomb - The Terror Tapes

How's that Gama Bomb? Tales... was an awesome album so I'm interested in this.

If you dug Tales then you'll like this. Here's some clips,

I'm really diggin' the new Coheed & Cambria.

Some others I have enjoyed this year so far.
Boarders - R-Existence
Wonrowe Vision - Pictures of the Past Present and Future
Prowler - After You
Flotsam & Jetsam-Ugly Noise
Reactory - Killed by Thrash
In-Graved
Voivod - Target Earth
Stryper-Second Coming
Sevendust - Black Out The Sun
Six Feet Under - Unborn
Anthrax - Anthems (EP)
Pÿlon - The Harrowing of Hell (Deluxe Edition)
Newsted - Metal (EP)
Rusted Brain - High Voltage Thrash

Biggest disappointment so far:
Rivera/Bomma - Infinite Journey of Soul

so far I've only picked up 2 new releases, but both are good:

Killswitch Engage - Disarm the Descent. I liked this well enough to finally get around to buying Times of Grace, which I've also enjoyed tremendously.

The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us is the Killer (listened to this about 10 times in 2 days)



I'm for sure getting the new Extol later this summer, and the debut Bosnian Rainbows album as well (features ex-Mars Volta members Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Deantoni Park, but has some alternative/80s new wave vibes).

Hopefully I'll get the new albums from Voivod and Steven Wilson too.

Really looking forward to the new Kylesa. Unless they change drastically, I know I'm gonna dig it.

Revisiting the list...

Now there are 4 albums that I've officially slotted in position

1. Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing
2. Laura Marling - Once I Was An Eagle
3. Deep Purple - Now What?!
4. Riverside - Shrine Of New Generation Slaves

contenders:

Blood Ceremony - The Eldritch Dark
Kadavar - Abra Kadavar

Interested to see how the new Black Sabbath album will strike me.

A few more have came to my attention since my last post:

Leprous - Coal
Plini - Heart EP
Colin Stetson - New History Warfare Vol. 3

I've really enjoyed Plini.

The following are on my wishlist:

Black Star Riders
Avantasia
Gloryhammer
Amorphis
Immolation
Gama Bomb
Ghost

Glad I could spread the word!

With repeated listens, that new Laura Marling album could definitely be on my list as well. Playing it now on Spotify, and I'm really enjoying it.

This is my current top 10:

1. Stratovarius - Nemesis

3. Gloryhammer - Tales From The Kingdom of Fife
4. Helloween - Straight Out Of Hell
5. Rocka Rollas - Metal Strikes Back
6. Holy Grail - Ride The Void
7. Screamer - Phoenix
8. Blazon Stone - Return To Port Royal
9. Hatchet - Dawn of the End
10. Satan - Life Sentence

There are still plenty of albums I want to hear, but I think the top 5 or so will stay on my list for year's end.
