Those I've purchased in the last month or month and a half I believe. Probably some I forgot to list Most are good, some awesome, didn't get any duds recently (happy when i dont, lol). Also, all these are digital copies, since they're almost always cheaper and I don't have to wait 2 weeks to get them

Great!

I've bought this week 4 albums, The Black Halo (Kamelot), Iron (Ensiferum), Polaris (Stratovarius) and April Rain (Delain). Black Halo was awesome, tracks like Soul Society, Memento Mori and March Of Mephisto get 5* easily. Polaris was very good too, I actually don't care is Timo Tolkki there or not - they rule still. April Rain was good; poppish and overblown, but good. Iron was maybe the best album out of these 4, it has no weaknesses for my opinion.

Their singer can be a real prick when he wants... He's at every single power metal show here in Montreal, he's such a show-off, and he's a prick (he almost broke my friend's GF arm...) I fucking hate him =x

Meh, I can't blame you, actually, I have their CD too... But that was before I meet the singer, and let me tell you, I met many many musicians in my life, and he's really the only musician I HATE (sometimes I don't like a band's view, or a musician's views, but I'm talking about the person itself here). There's some that I just... Don't like much, or that act snobbish a little, I can cope with that, but HE... Oh god, he's just... Wrong on so many level...

Actually, I haven't met the other musicians, so maybe they're really cool... But the singer is SO MUCH of an ass...

Metal OCD is definitely FTW

Holy shit! How much did all that cost you?

So you're telling me you never had Twilight of the Thunder God until now?

You. Live for the Kill. NAO!!!!

Also, I recommend getting With Oden On Our Side as well. Twilight and Oden have much clearer vocals than the older ones. Although, I haven't heard the remastered album(s), so that might be fixed.
