So if I had to choose 1?

Choose the 1 that has the fewest songs on it.

 

(Sorry, couldn't resist).

Man, I knew a reply like that was coming eventually...

Damn double posts.

28 WEEKS LATER

 

I loved the first one, just got this through the post today so will be watching it tonight.

Prepare to be impressed. I loved this movie. Better than the first, with more action and more gore. The best way I can put it is to say that "28 Weeks Later" is to "28 Days Later" what "Aliens" was to "Alien." Make sense? Ah, hell, just watch the damn thing...it's great.

Winger: "Pull"

"When I Find Love" ~ XYZ

Cinderella, 'Long Cold Winter'...not sure if this was considered underrated either but it is the best of the lot.....

I agree with the above agreement.

300

 

Best movie of the year so far.

Backed. I damn wish I'd caught this one at the cinema.

I actually did see this in the theater when it came out. I still have the indentation on the bottom of my chin from where my jaw kept hitting the floor.

XYZ: "Hungry"

"Dead End Drive" ~ Holy Soldier

Hey, if you wanna come, I've got an extra Royal Box ticket right next to me...the boxes are at least somewhat separated from the rest of the throng. I'll probably be moving about between upstairs, downstairs, and backstage anyway, so that will be even fewer people for you to deal with.

Oh, how thou temptest me. No, seriously, thanks for the offer, but even if I were a social butterfly, I couldn't make the show. Just a legion of things preventing it.

My choices look like this:

1. Warrant

2. DRFSR

3. Cherry Pie (still one of my all time fav pop-metal albums)

4. Dog Eat Dog

5. Ultraphobic (yeah, I like it...sue me )

6. Bell to Belly (an ear-shredding abomination)

Latest acquisition...

FUEL: "Angels & Devils" (excellent modern hard rock)

300

Best movie of the year so far. Larger than life, hyper-stylized, super-bloody, entertaining as all hell...what's not to like? Just about a perfect cinematic (or in this case, DVD) experience. Love this flick.

...I really am surprised at the seeming across-the-board lack of interest in the show (those with logistical and/or prior commitments notwithstanding), and I don't just mean here. I would have thought the demand would be greater.

I thought when this concert was first announced, tickets sold like wildfire and area hotels booked up faster than Rosie O'Donnell tears through the buffet line at Golden Corral? Dan, do you have any behind-the-scenes info. you can (or are willing to) share in terms of number of tickets sold?

As for why I'm not attending...besides the usual reasons (excuses), I'm an antisocial SOB who hates crowds. Seriously, I despise crowds with a passion. Just going shopping at Wal-Mart is enough to make me grit my teeth so hard the enamel cracks and requires a trip to the dentist.

Fuel - 'Angels and devils' ; I'm going to give 'em this one. Very good new album, much better than I expected. I actually quite like the new vocalist and there are a lot of very good songs here...Still very much Fuel, but based on first listens, IMO, this is easily their best album...by far.

Not having cared much for any of Fuel's earlier output, I hadn't bothered with the new one, but based on your positive review, I went and checked out samples and immediately put it on my "To Buy" list. I could easily see (hear) Chris Daughtry singing these songs; in fact, the sound/style is fairly similar to Daughtry's album.

EDENS CURSE - S/T

 

This is okay, but nothing exciting IMO.

I'm starting to agree with you. Had this for a few days now and while it's certainly well-done melodic hard rock/metal, it's not sticking with me very well. Could wear out its welcome pretty quickly.

Currently spinning...

David Readman: s/t.

Good morning, Justice Jumpers.

Jehosophat's gentle wife Jill jokingly joshes with jeering junipers.

Kapish?

I just went and checked out the samples on Amazon.com and...eh, they're OK. They've got that nu-breed sound that's growing very old to my ears, though admittedly A Change of Pace has a little harder rock edge than many bands in the nu-breed genre. A year ago I probably would have gobbled this up like Geoff slurping on a naked nork, but my tastes have shifted away from this breezy (though catchy) power-pop-rock stuff toward more aggressive music. For what it is, it's pretty good stuff; it's just not what I'm listening to these days.

"Battery" ~ Machine Head

I should probably be shot for this but I have never listened to one of his CDs.

I wouldn't go so far as to say you should be shot, but a public flogging isn't out of the question.

Machine Head: "The Blackening"

Kick Ass CD and if you haven't heard it yet their version of Metallica's - Battery is amazing Japan bonus song.

Note to self: Must hear Machine Head's cover of "Battery" ASAP.

Got to hear this last night. Thanks to Lawrence for hooking me up with the MP3. Truly a killer cover tune.

I don't plan on spending all my time in fantasy world like you...

Did he just insinuate that I live in a fantasy world? The nerve. I have half a mind to get all the members of my Dungeons & Dragons club together and go kick his ass.

VOODOO X: "The Awakening Vol. 1"

EDEN'S CURSE: s/t

"The Voice Inside" ~ Eden's Curse

MACHINE HEAD: "The Blackening"

Bought this based on Tim(2)'s recommendation and while I wouldn't put it ahead of Shadows Fall or Five Finger Death Punch for heavy metal album of the year, it's not too far behind them. Screaming (but decipherable) vocals, badass guitars, and thick production make this one worth picking up for heavy/thrash metalheads. A few of the songs could be a little shorter, but that's a minor complaint. Overall, a pretty darn good CD.
