On CDs that kick ass
Today, I picked up two CDs...sorta. One was a legal pick-up...and the other, well not so much. The purchased CD was none other than Dream Theater's Systematic Chaos, which, by the way, kicks some major ass. The illegal copied CD I got today is Devin Townsend's newest release: Ziltoid the Omniscient. Quite hilarious but quite kickass at the same time. Both CDs are incredibly amazing, and I recommend both. I plan on purchasing Ziltoid eventually because it's definitely worth the money.
I also found a couple funny videos of Devin Townsend explaining gear and such on youtube. He also does some amazing guitar wanking...which was not exactly expected of him. He's got some serious chops.
If anyone wants more details about either release...summaries, reviews, etc. then let me know.
Other new editions to my CD library include Killswitch Engage's Alive Or Just Breathing as well as their newest, As Daylight Dies. Both CDs rock pretty fucking hard, so I decided to buy their only DVD release so far. I wouldn't have expected KsE to be so tight live. But they are great. Definitely some great music with a great live show. Rockin' band.
Also, I recently bought Meshuggah's Catch Thirtythree. This CD will rock your face off. It's incredibly technical, very typical of Meshuggah. But it's some of the heaviest music I've ever heard. Definitely worth a listen for fans of heavy music.
