Spectre, I keep passing on the Anthrax album. I'm a marginal fan but have liked some of the newer stuff. I might have to check it out.
Anyway, some of teh new stuff I've gotten that kicked ass:
Motograter - Self titled.
- Just a great debut disk from a new band. Heavy but still very rhythmic. Some really good heavy hooks make some catchy tunes. BTW, just saw them live too, and they were fantastic!
Sevendust - Seasons
- Bought this a couple of weeks ago when it came out and I love it. I'm a littel biased because they are one of my favorite bands, but if you likes the last album, you'll love this.
Mushroomhead - XIII
- I love the constant change of tempo in a lot of their songs. Some heavy music with a basic, simple melody in he background. I like the constrast between the 2 vocalists also. Better than XX in my opinion.
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
- Well, I finally bought this last weekend after about 5 or 6 times walking around Best Buy with it in my hand and putting it back. It hasn't left the stereo in my car since I bought it. Blackest Eyes is the coolest song. It very relaxing without that muzak feel. Some very good musicianship in my opinion.
