Think a cross between Indie, Psych and Dubstep but way cooler and catchier than that sounds. It's an incredible album. Check 'em here. Not sure if they'll be your cup of tea but I love them. Alot.

That's not the sort of thing I generally listen to but the samples on their MySpace page are interesting and combined with your strong opinion I'm going to see if I can find a copy at a nice price. My twin brother listens to stuff like that also so maybe hidden deep in the recesses of my noodle I have the dubstep love... worth a try.

Hmm, if you think it may not be your thang, check out the album samples on the amazon.co.uk site here. I really wouldn't want to sell you a wrong 'un, but we do have similar tastes and I rate it. Maybe try a sly d/load before you buy (shh...)?

Dude, avoid St. Anger like the plague unless you've already got it - the single most poorly produced album in my entire collection. When I first heard it I thought my CD was faulty. Did you know it's the most returned album in history? RE: Compression Wars - Death Magnetic is immense but you can clearly hear the distortion where Lars or whoever has said "make it even louder... great, but can it go any louder?... just a smidge louder...". My mate Dave told me there's apparently an online petition of 20,000+ signatories asking Metallica to remaster it. Great, great album though. Already have St Anger, can't recall the production being bad, but the songs are pretty piss poor IIRC I have a promo copy I picked up for 99p so I can't really complain Death Magnetic is unlistenable, the Iggy remix of Raw Power is MOR compared to DM, it justs batters you senseless after a couple of tunes, its like chewing silver paper. I know it's not very metal but I'd sign a petition to turn it down.

And I tried with that album, believe me, I tried. Still love DM though, my 2nd favourite Metallica album after And Justice For All. Sacreligious? Possibly.

I'm an old purist, Master of Puppets & Ride The Lightning for me, do have a lot of time for about 75% of Load , I'll let you know how I get on with St Anger, I'm going to dig out the ''industrial remix'' singles from the mid 90s if I can find them, see how they've stood the test of time

Don't worry about my holding a grudge if I got this and didn't dig it. I've been buying music since the late 70s often with far less info than I have here. I can't count how many albums on vinyl I purchased back in the day based on a hunch, cover art, a cool band name or song titles. Some went on to become favorites (Carnivoroe, Demon, Eloy...) and some not so much (Snail, Jag Panzer, Fates Warning). Still taking chances and while the internet has helped me make educated choices I still pick a bummer now and then. The cool thing here is that if I don't like it I know my brother will... and I've no problem gifting him music!

COIL - Musick To Play In the Dark (Vols 1 & 2) Haven't played these in a long while and they are sounding better than ever COLLEEN - The Golden Morning Breaks A perfect album for the Autumn SWANS - Various Failures What a great voice Mr. Gira has, really looking forward to hearing the new album too STEREOLAB - Dots & Loops I've had this for a while and thought I'd give it another go, I prefer the 'Emporer Tomato Ketchup' phase, but this is growing on me KEITH TIPPETT GROUP - Dedicated To You... Great British Jazz! woohoo! V/A - The Sound Gallery Volumes 1 & 2 Aural pleasures in every way >;-D That's all folks!
