James album Vladimir Ashkenazy - Nocturnes and 4 Ballades by Chopin London Symphony Orchestra - Symphonies No. 1 and 5 by Prokofiev likely next purchases (a big spree at Asthmatic Kitty): Castanets - First Light's Freeze Castanets - Cathedral Half-handed Cloud - Halos and Lassos Sufjan Stevens - Enjoy Your Rabbit Sufjan Stevens - Michigan Sufjan Stevens - Illinois I will comment. The only Aphex Twin I've listened to are the selected Ambient Works. It's cool music when you're in the mood for it, but there are lots of other kinds of atmospheric music I usually enjoy more. I've never been that big on Chopin to be honest. He's one of those composers that I never found enough "bite" and vigor in to enjoy. I love Sergei Prokofiev, though I've actually never listened to his symphonies. If you've never listened to the Scythian Suite, I recommend picking that up. It's by far my favorite piece ever written by him. How are those symphonies in your opinion, though? Despite being an Asthmatic Kitty fan, I'm not big on Castanets. Not sure why... I've just kind of been filled with indifference whenever listening to them. Perhaps I haven't give them the proper time. I love Half-Handed Cloud. He's very unconventional and zany, and I enjoy his brand of happy psycho-folk insanity from time to time. I don't think I could typically tolerate sitting through his albums in their entirety very often, but I do love his music for what it is. Sufjan: Duh. I think he's one of the better writers/arrangers in contemporary music... 'nuff said. My latest Purchases/Orders as of the past week or so: Purchases: Amon Amarth - With Oden on Our Side Gatsby's American Dream - Gatsby's American Dream The Killers - Sam's Town Man Man - Six Demon Bag Orders: Arsis - United in Regret (should be coming Tuesday) Into Eternity - Into Eternity (should get here sometime this week.) Rachmaninoff - The Symphonies [Box set] (includes Symphonies no. 1-3, Symphonic Dances, The Isle of the Dead, and The Bells. I hope this gets here soon, I found a GREAT deal for it on amazon.) And I will DEFINITELY be picking up the new Converge and My Chemical Romance this week ;D

And I will DEFINITELY be picking up the new Converge and My Chemical Romance this week ;D With Oden on Our Side is definitely Amon Amarth's strongest album, it has an incredibly epic feel the whole way through. From what I've heard from the new killers cd it sounds like they have changed their sounds for the better. It sounds like they have moved away from the modern synthesizer sound, to a classic rock-anthem sound. Arsis, what can I say? Solid metal, good choice. Me: Recent Purchases: Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse Opeth - Deliverance Opeth - Lamentations Future Purchase: Opeth - Still Life Nile - Black Seeds of Vengeance Pink Floyd - The Wall Mastodon - Blood Mountain

I'm not an Opeth fan, I find their stuff repetitive. They have great chops but I don't dig their songwriting. Nile, likewise. Pink Floyd is good, but I don't think The Wall was that great. I mean, it had good songs but there was a lot that could have been cut out. Too ambitious for its own good. Mastodon is good too but I don't like their new work.
recent 'purchase': Danger Mouse - The Grey Album (http://www.bannedmusic.org)
next purchase: see above

I got "Utopia" by Unexpect recently. Awesome stuff. More straight forward metal than "In a Flesh Aquarium," but still very diverse and schizofrenic, just not quite as much. I have "Origin" by Borknagar coming sometime. Should be here on Haloween, but I'm not sure. Borknagar decided to change it up from their post-black metal and make this one an all acoustic album with flutes and all sorts of stuff! I'm really looking forward to it! -Kerrick

I was listening to "In A Flesh Aquarium" while driving home last night. I was tired to begin with, and as the trip wore on, I began to feel both excited and terrified... it becames this surreal dream-like state.
I could've just changed the music, but I did not.... I was glad when I got home
Oh and by the way, both "Welcome to the Black Parade" and "No Heroes" are absolutely.... jaw-droppingly good. I'm listening to No Heroes again, and really liking it this time around.

They have great chops but I don't dig their songwriting. Just curious, what Opeth songs/cds have you listened to that could possibly make you say this?

All of their DVD. They play tracks as far back as Blackwater Park, I believe. It was right when Damnation and Deliverance had come out so they didn't play anything from the new one because it wasn't out yet.
Actually, I thought their Damnation stuff was okay.

You yourself tout the importance of the album. Listen to Still Life, Blackwater Park, or even their newest, Ghost Reveries, before you cast judgement on the band.
