Trade you for your Dark Ang...sike!

It's so good. Beware, however; Amazon sells CDR. Had to dig for the original pressing.

Judas Priest: Redeemer of Souls

yep, deluxe addition

Savatage - Sirens & The Dungeons Are Calling Sessions (both the album an EP culled together as originally intended)

By far the worst digipak packaging I've ever come across. Cheap, thin cardboard stock, poorly written liner notes (by Jon, of all people!) shoved inside a small inner crack, and the lettering on the spine is upside down, which IMO is the worst offender. Music is great, but I should've spent the extra money on the standalone albums and their first pressings.

Goat - World Music

On pre order

Goat - Commune

I only have the Ghost In The Ruins remaster from this last go around. I prefer the SPV reissues from 2002. They weren't remastered at all and had nice booklets. Also, the new reissue bonus tracks are crap.

Yeah the one lone bonus track here is an acoustic rendition done by Jon in 2010. yaaay. I had those SPV reissues once upon a time and like an idiot sold them to pay bills (as a bachelor of all things!!!). Wish I still had them.

Although you gotta love the first pressings for that uniform spine with the red lettering on white. Looks so awesome on the shelf.

EDIT: we really need to allow cussing around here...  

I don't think it is a censorship or moral issue. I think it was more of a workaround for computers that might have filters or blockers on them for folks in the workplace.

If you want to review a new album as a c***goblin, mother f***ing, master-f***ing-piece, you're gonna need to be more creative. Balls.

I had meant to reply to this; yeah I never thought of it that way. I guess it's more fun anyway to type f u c k and fvck and fuk and so forth lol...

This arrived in today's mail...
The Treatment - Running With The Dogs

That disc is my 100th purchase of the year. And I SWORE I was gonna slow down with my music buying. Oops   

Heart - Red Velvet Car
Gary Moore - Corridors of Power
Gary Moore - We Want Moore
Gary Moore - Run For Cover
Gary Moore - Wild Frontier
Gary Moore - After Hours
Gary Moore - Blues for Greeny
Gary Moore - Dark Days in Paradise
Steve Perry - Street Talk
Toto - s/t
Van Halen - Live: Right Here, Right Now

I think that Toto S/T is sadly underrated.  There's a lot of good stuff on there IMO.  I don't care if it is a bunch of session musicians who came together to create an AOR album, I still think there are some strong songs on that one (besides "Hold The Line").  "Manuela Run" has always been a favorite of mine.

Judas Priest - Redeemer Of Souls (Deluxe Edition)

UFO- Live at Oxford: The Misdemeanor Tour (DVD replacing VHS copy)
