So in my week long sequestor from posting here on gamespot, I practiced a bit on my bass and looked for some new "at least to me" bands to listen to. The other day, I bought 2 CD's, one by my favorite band, and the other from one of the bands that I liked and the music store had. all the other bands I guess were too obscure i guess

The first one that I got is:

Opeth's second live album "The Roundhouse Tapes" Its fantastic, much better than "lamentations" because it didn't have that annoying buzzing thing going on in the background. Also, on the album, they played some of their older stuff. Really fantastic. Awesome live band. 9/10

The Second Album i picked up is:

November's Doom's latest album "The Novella Reservoir" I learned of this band through mad clicking of links on Wikipedia. They're awesome! If you like Death metal you should give them a listen. A good mix of songs, heavy and soft. Almost all their songs have to do something with water, which is pretty cool. Many have references to drowning more specifically. Which one of the worst ways to die IMO. :? overall a good album, a tad on the heavy side, but great nonetheless. 8/10

And a list of other bands that I'm really looking forward to hearing more of are
