@Juni- Nah still haven't had a chance, there's way to much need to purchases first, rhapsody, more blind guardian, metallica, megadeth, the last few maiden discs, kamelot, devin townsend and then I'll check them out, promise.  

The Devin Townsend Band- Synchestra- The newest album from one of the musicial geniuses today, who does it all, sing, write lyrics, plays guitar, produces, engineers, mixes, masters, you name it, heard mixed reviews about this one, but saw the video for vampira (Which I suggest you check out for some good cheesiness) and thought why not. Great album so far, typical Townsend style to create a good atmospheric listen with good melodies and hard riffs.

A Perfect Circle- Mer de Noms The album was on sale for 8 bucks so thought what the hell, let's check it out, no expectations on what to expect but should be an interesting listen. Much more of an upbeat listen compared to Thirteenth step, really enjoying.

Dio- Holy Diver This is perhaps one of the best metal vocalists of all time, granted my fav is still Bruce from Maiden but that's another story.

After hearing his guest appearance on Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime II, picked up one of his albums after his black sabbeth days, this is an awesome album, great backing band he had, and such a commanding and powerful voice, it really stands out and he really takes command on the album, definitely adding him to my fav vocalists list and getting more of his material.

Not really a CD or anything, but I just bought a great song over iTunes.
It's a sad song, and it's probably one of the best in any genre.

That exists? You must be joking...

[Blood-Pigggy]

Yeh, it's better than you think it is.
Nit.

[DeathDude]

Watch it with the name calling pigggy.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Nit isn't name-calling.

It's a term for "brother" or "friend" shortened down.
But of course, nobody knows these things other than peeps in the US, so I guess I should stop

Zofomg, no respect? Don't want to capitilize that Pigggy?

Well, closest synonym that my dictionary gives, is "fool", so let's not use it. End of discussion. Back to topic.

The Devin Townsend Band- Accelerated Evolution 2nd last album before his latest one that I bought couple of days ago, heard a lot of opinions that this is indeed a worthwhile pickup and it's supposedly one of his more heavier albums, so far so good and really liking it, Devin rocks.

Devin Townsend- Infinity A lot of reviews I have read say that you have to get this album as it's one of his finest. This was made during the time he was alternating musicians for this side project. (The Devin Townsend Band as I have posted with some of the recent albums is his final lineup now today) Anyway great album, honestly a great listen, I'm beginning to think Devin can't make a bad album.

Kamelot- Epica Another band I've been meaning to get into one of these days, picked up their second last one and really liking the material and the unique style of their mix of power and progressive metal.

Maid Marian and Her Merry Men series 1 on DVD (it was finally released!) and I'm perhaps a little TOO excited about it. That show's great!

[DeathDude]

I'm super excited because in 7 days dun dun dun Final Fantasy Advent Children is finally released, finally I almost gave up hope on it, but it's almost here.

Kamelot-The Black Halo- Latest album from the group, only heard maybe 4 tracks so far, but definitely it's a great listen and well adds to my collection of concept albums, which I have about 5 before this, excellent work by this group.

2Pac and Elton John: Ghetto Gospel

Pac is the best at rap. Noone can still replace him. Ghetto Gospel still lacks the great beat of Pac's. He always had something special added to his songs.

Devin Townsend- Physicist This is one of the remaining albums I have to pick up to finish off the collection, only Ocean Machine left. Anyways this album have heard mixed reviews on, essentially it sounds very like his Strapping Young Lad material. (Heck even his SYL lineup is on this one.) A bit different than his other releases much more heavier material, might have to listen to it some more before it grows on me.

Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children- Finally after much anticipation got it, special edition too of course, and can't wait to watch it.
