I know what you mean, my brother is in a band so I have started understand more about how much he struggles to earn money. Problem is there aren't many CD stores in Los Angeles. Ever since tower records closed down there is only Amoeba, which to be fair is an amazing store, and a place called CD trader. Best buy too I guess but their selection is limited. I sometimes use Amazon.com, but it doesnt have the same atmosphere as a CD store.

THE BEST!

[QUOTE="RexDarr"] I use to download music like a fish to water, but since I've been in a band I've decided to start paying the artist for their work on creating music (which is a lot harder than most people think).AxeStrangler

You should go to CD trader, its not as big as Amoeba but its pretty good. Its in tarzana I think.

How do you contact the bands? Are they usually local bands? That sounds great though, I love CD stores. Online downloading will never replicate their atmosphere.

[QUOTE="AxeStrangler"] I hear that, I used to buy most of my albums at Tower Records since it was so close, now I have to drive to North Hollywood to buy my albums at Amoeba.AxeStrangler

Check out some of the bands I listed, Theres a lot to choose from:P they have a good dvd selection there too. Not as good as Amoeba though, then again what store is? I just wish it was closer.

[QUOTE="Film-Guy"]

[QUOTE="RexDarr"] I live in Calgary and there are a ton of CD stores. A mall that I go after school had 3 CD stores but 1 closed down (went out of business, and it was the best). We also have a place called Recordland which carries EVERYTHING your looking for. If you were to find any CD, Recordland probably has it. I've bought CDs from Amazon, but I end up paying half the price of the CD for shipping. If I can I normally like to find the band and contact them about the CD, its normally cheaper and sometimes they'll throw a free shirt or something in there.RexDarr

My brother's band were allowed access to a studio at night, so they stayed at the studio all night for about 2 weeks and slept during the day. Like vampires:P Good luck with your band though, its a tough business but its so worth it in the long run. What kind of music does your band play?

The Resistance by MuseCommander-Gree

[QUOTE="Commander-Gree"]The Resistance by MuseCuR-Archive

Its growing on me a bit, but I still found it a bit dissapointing overall.

I'm with Film Guy on this one. I think it has stopped growing on me though. Disappointment of 2009 though a chunk of it is very enjoyable.

I liked Unnatural selection, but Exogenesis is very overrated. Its orchestral parts are very bland and even though the 3 parts are not that long they drag a lot.

I think i have barely scratched the surface of the 2009 albums that might interest me so far, but my current favourite is :

Ghost Brigade - Isolation songs

Origin of Symmetry is their best album by far.

title track does it for me. MK Ultra gets me in that "Muse Urgency" type of mood which I love. Exogenesis last part is very nice. I swear sometimes they sound like they have been listening to Angels and Airwaves.

Yeah the last part of exogenesis is the best, but the first 2 sound very dull to me. Not much happens and they dont really go anywhere. To me they sound like a mix of Styx, Queen, Journey, and Toto.

Eminem - Relapse

Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown

Muse - The Restistance

The Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D

Jet - Shaka Rock

Green Day's new album surprised me. I thought it was better than American Idiot. I didnt know Jet made a new album either.

I hope these albums will be good. Liked some some songs that are going to be on these albums.

I forgot The Church- Untitled 23. For anyone who likes psychadelic rock I recommend that.

Either....

"Backspacer" by Pearl Jam

or

"Merriweather Post Pavillion" by Animal Collective

Both have AMAZING album covers too.

Still haven't heard "Veckatimest" by Grizzly Bear though, and I'm really interested in that. The stuff I've heard is great.

Lamb of God - Wrath
Devildriver - Prey for Villians
CKY - Carver City

And what I heard of:
Suicide Silence - No Time To Bleed
Job For A Cowboy - Ruination
Killswitch Engage - Self-titled
Rx Bandits - Mandala
Thursday - Common Existence
Some of these I've listened to to an extent, but I tend to buy so many CD's that I don't get to them all at once...

But my favourite of the year was Coheed and Cambria's Neverender. Not neccessarily new, but all four albums performed live, and all of it sounded amazing, even with some slight imperfections.

For the rest of the year? Kill Hannah's new one, the new 69 Eyes, and Scar Symmetry off the top of my head. And that doesn't include a lot of the new ones this year I haven't heard yet...

For me it's a toss up between:

Dream Theater - Black Clouds And Silver Linings

Megadeth - Endgame

Do the beatles remasters count :P?

Jay-Z brought real hip hop back. I used to hate hip hop.

DazedDarkness

^Loved it.

^I just liked "The Fixer" and the music video :P

^Was also pretty awesome.

Immortal - All Shall Fall

cyberdarkkid

I approve of this. I like your new avatar. Very sexay.

I'm not a fan of anything else launched this year.

Megadeth - Endgame

Mastodon - Crack the Skye

I'd say "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx: pt #2" not as good Raekwon's "Only Built 4 Cuban Links" from 1995 (i think), but it is still very good. another classic from the Wu
