How do you wanna know what I buy? Those few records I post here are perhaps 20-40 % of what I buy monthly.Cyrcka wrote:Prowler wrote:

That's Raisky Ad "Opposition", Soviet record I believe from 1990. Very weird and "diverse" record with some shit tracks on it but also some amazing metal tracks, even a doom metal song.doomedplanet wrote:Mordred, Pautina is the last record in your last photo. edit: OOPS, I was mistaken, what record is that? It looks similar in design to Pautina but isn't...
Thanks! Duthc scene is one of my favorites for sure, perhaps beaten only by UK and Germany in Europe. Those great records in my photo coupled with the classics by Picture, Martyr and Angus is pretty amazing for a country of that size.Hans wrote:Love your "dutch"picture nice collection, and also to Sentinel nice records
Wait, you forgot that Cyrcka is mocking all the time about some of my AOR purchases (my money that I waste) so do I start I war with him? No, why should I? I like this, he likes that ... is it forbidden to say his opinion? I know that some people here do not dare to say their honest opinion because of reactions like this. They are afraid to get put into the outfield because they think that a record that costs 200 or more $$ is total crap. That's quite sad ...daniel wrote:Prowler, perhaps you should see a therapist about bridging the gap between the extremes of your either utterly condescending attitude and that of your bragging.
Your posts aren't actually any worse than friends talking shit back and forth about records, everyone says this or that sucks etc. about lots of stuff, but you know, give it a rest with the constant price comparisons and always acting the authority on quality. There are records I have which I sometimes wonder why I bought, Salem's Wych is one actually; musically it's nothing special to me save for two tracks, but I don't bother trying to judge everyone else about it every time I see a photo of the record, because having a record obviously isn't just about every track being excellent, there are many factors which contribute to the charm, and sometimes we want things regardless of whether they are more objectively good or not. Lester Maddox: Wonderful cover art, that there is enough reason for anyone to want it, which is, as any comments on the music itself, purely subjective opinion, and people shouldn't even be scared of being open about their thoughts on these subjects, we don't have to constantly fear hurting other people's feelings, yet what we do need to learn in order to function in any social group, is to tone it down and moderate at times.
If as you say you are posting less than half the amount of records you actually buy each month, then you are very well off, whether you buy a lot of cheap things or not you have a lot of money to spend. People spend their money on whatever they want, and I personally, being unemployed at the moment, can't help but cringe at anyone trying to brag about how much money they have to spend - in fact, being unburdened by finances in the process of choosing which records to acquire, is fundamentally pretty "un-metal" to me

You can listen and download the album here: http://metalrus.ru/groups/953. Check out the second and fourth tracks, they're the best.
"played by bloody beginners" ... "As a musician you hear things with different ears ..." yes you´re right, and i do listen with different ears, BUT i really don´t care if it is playing by amateurs or the music is bloody perfection, what matters to me is if sounds good, and nothing more.Prowler wrote:

@Cyrcka, even if I'd get a Liquid Earth for 5 $ (the problem is I the hell don't want it) I wouldn't like it. It's Metal played by bloody beginners. As a musician you hear things with different ears ...
