my cd collection needs a facelift - any suggestions?

[InnocentCivilian]

i'm getting tired of some of my cd's. does anyone know of any cool underrated cd's that would actually be worth buying? please try not to suggest anything too popular (ie RATM, SOAD). i'm thinking of something heavy not neccesarily with political motives....many thanks!

[Goldfinger]

Herbie Hanock (electro-jazz), US3 (hiphop-jazz), Mo' Friction (funk/soul), o(+> (the album Prince and the New Power Generation highly recommended), any CD from the Pulp Fusion series (funk, fusion, soul), Jimi Hendrix, Bugge Wesseltoft (Electro-jazz, my mom marred his father once)

For metal (since you asked for that specifically):
Motorhead-Ace of Spades
Metallica-Ride the Lightning

I can also recommend a lot of Skinhead (and some punk) stuff

[Politrickian]

Sepultura(Chaos AD, Against, Nation), Thy Serpent, Cannibal Corpse, New Model Army... Thats all I can think of now.

Thats Death/Black Metal, btw, except New Model Atmy. So if you don't like that, don't buy it.

[LeninCCCP]

Black Label Society - 1919 Eternal
Andrew W.K. - I Get Wet
The Haunted - Made Me Do It *this 1 is hard to find try bn.com*
Disturbed - Believe

Those are all pretty underatted and mostly heavy.

Slayer - Diabolus in Musica
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Metallica - Metallica (aka The Black Album)
Killswitch Engage - Alive or Just Breathing

I don;t know where you live so i don't know if you can get it, but look for Sonic Excess, it's a complitation of various artists on Earache Records and it will only cost you a quid or two, I got it for £2 in the virgin store in Camden.

It's got loads fo stuff on it, 18 tracks I think from loads of artists, ranging form The Dillinger Escape Plan, to Mortiis to The Berzerker.

If you want a change from Metal, and all "popular" music, try Mediaeval Baebes, they are awesome, also Adiemus cd's by Karl Jenkins.

[InnocentCivilian]

that sound excess cd sounds really good. the bezerker are really funny in a sick way. i want the dillinger escape plan ep with mike patton but haven't seen it anywhere!! thanks for the posts everyone....keep em coming!

[Commie Canuck 15]

Get Dead Kennedys man.... there the shit!

[Gandalf]

I like the white stripes, before they got all famous and stuff. They're good though.

[munkey soup]

Please, do not call Andrew W.K. "heavy." He (or at least his music, I've never met the guy) is shite! It is all the same, poppy crap.

Get anything by Soulfly. The latest one I prefer, but the previous ones will do well also.

[Felicia]

I like disturbed, that bald guy is pretty hot! Haha :)

[BOZG]

Yes Felicia, you are disturbed.

And Andrew WK is terrible.

YOU'RE A DILLINGER FAN!!!!!!!! WOHOO!!!!

Irony is a Dead Scene fuckin rules dude.

And btw: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...1262739-0806027 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006AWM4/qid=1035057439/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_3_1/026-1262739-0806027)

Felicia - no offence, but fancying David Draiman makes you fucking odd. :biggrin:

[InnocentCivilian]

Thanks guerillaradio i appreciate it. i'm really gonna order that

[Michael De Panama]

Damn it, LeninCCCP, you beat me to it. I was going to say Andrew WK. Oh well, we've got a lot of people in here with the strange mental illness that prevents them from enjoying the greatness that is Andrew WK. I really am very sorry for these poor sad souls. I can't help but have pity.

GR mentioned Irony is a Dead Scene. Also another great album. But I think higher on the list of essential albums would have to be "Disco Volante" and "California" by Mr. Bungle. Two of the greatest CDs ever made.

While we're at it, Ipecac records has a little band called Skeleton Key with an album called "Obtainium" which definitely kicks ass.

I also recommend pretty much anything by King Crimson.

[Fabi]

hmmm... i think i'll download some dillinger escape plan today to see if i like them...
they covered aphex twin's 'come to daddy' on that ep.... so i suppose that's already a plus...

i got belle and sebastian's 'if you're feeling sinister' yesterday... it's not heavy, but if you like nick drake, simon and garfunkel or whatever, then give it a listen...

;-)

From what I know of your music tastes, I'd say you hate them. Still, give it a go.

Ah yes...that's a great track. Really comes into its own live.

[Fabi]

why do you think i'd hate them?

You a fan of noisecore??

[Fabi]

hmmm... certainly not a fan... since i dont know what it is... or is noisecore and noise all the same?

well, maybe i'll like it... i'll see ;-)

Pretty much...except noisecore is more crossover.

[Guardia Bolivariano]

Try CULTURA 3 by AGRESION or FREAKEAO BY LABERINTO.

[sugarcandy113]

Ok i havent been checking up on this topic so im a bit slow but

THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN ARE FUCKING AWESOME.
Go buy some.
I found the Irony Is A Dead Scene EP in a local music shop, i couldnt find it in Virgin or HMV.

[Fabi]

im going to check out some dillinger stuff, but my little brother had kinda kidnapped the computer for some lan party, so i couldnt yet....

[hamdancer]

This goes for anyone who reads this:
Buy any and every Dillinger Four album. Yes, they are a punk band, but a wholly original one. Energetic, punchy, melodic, and thoughtful are just a few words. Seriously, buy their shit. They also have a sense of humor, which seems to be lacking around here. Also, Propaghandi, and Bad Religion. And yes, RATM did kick ass.
