Anyone pick up the new ICP, Weezer, System of a Down, or Nine Inch Nails CD?

moam	Date: May 17, 2005 @ 7:12 PM I just bought all four of those CD's... I love every single one, especially the Weezer one If you haven't, have you picked up any new REALLY GOOD cd's lately?
Droquen	Date: May 17, 2005 @ 8:26 PM Well I've heard SOAD's new single BYOB and that song is great! Haven't heard the albums though
EvilPicnic	Date: May 20, 2005 @ 5:21 AM The System album's pretty good, but not as good at Toxicity, I don't think. Daron comes to the fore, and Serj to the back.Most songs feature Daron on lead vocals, and serj on backing, which I don't like, as Darons voice is nowhere near as expressive or tuneful as Serjs is. Serjs keyboards are more prominant. The songs are generally good (but not great) the best are probably BYOB and Radio/Video, although I probably haven't listened to the album enough to have the others grow on me yet. There is one extremely poor, shitty song, Old School Hollywood. It's just crap, sorry.
Svensta	Date: May 20, 2005 @ 9:41 AM The new NiN is very, very good. A rarity, he recaptures his past without sounding much like it at all. Classic Trent, but yet new. I have it spinning now. But yes I am still boycotting. This is a copy someone made for me.
Intergalacti...	Date: May 20, 2005 @ 12:17 PM Weezer have ad some really bad reviews for this CD. I aint got it yet but Weezer have always had somethin that captures me about them. I know this is probably a weird comparison but they remind me of the beach boys in some surfer-like way and its very addictive catchy melodies I hope to hear more of that on this record.
pancreaspuppet	Date: June 2, 2005 @ 12:29 AM I got NIN and SOAD. With Teeth: Didn't really grab me. There's just no genious about it like there was on the Fragile. Its ok... but ... shmeh. I think maybe its because I had an idea in my head of what I wanted the album to be, and its not that. I kind of wanted it to be more beautiful and subtle, while still hard & heavy, but its a very unsubtle album. Svensta, why are you boycotting? Mesmerise: Haven't listened to that much of it, but I'm liking it so far. Its a good change from the mainstream Nu-metal stuff that pumps on MTV these days. Very intelligently put-together, and pretty bold I think.
Svensta	Date: June 2, 2005 @ 8:42 AM This is why I love music. Everyone has their own opinion, and they are all equally valid. I'm boycotting (and have been for a long time now) because I feel the business model used by the Association is completely sided against the consumer, which I happen to be. They control the radio markets and video channels with a stranglehold, thereby completely mandating what the consumer base can experience in terms of new music. Secondly, they control utterly the distribution networks, allowing them to formulate a price structure that they alone decide. There is no competitive balance, no Pepsi to their Coca-Cola, threatening to beat them at price point with an identical product. This is fading somewhat as they have just realized that the distribution channel itself (read: Wal Mart) has come into its own and is now the TRUE controller of market price. Short-term that is good for us, Wal Mart believes in cut-throat low prices, but long-term, we are just allowing yet another massive entity to dictate market prices with no competition. Bad. Lastly, the explosion of the internet and now broadband has challenged the very nature of their control, and forced them to rethink their business model. Instead of growing and learning to harness the power of this unbelievable technology, they resort to trying to kill or hobble it, to load it with bloat, to spy on their very fan base and worst of all LITIGATE with the understanding that they WILL have your money one way or the other. Philosophically, I also believe that music is NOT property, so that my copying of such does not lessen some imaginary finite amount of a resource, nor does my establishing a back-up of what is PROVEN to be a media (CD's) that age and fade to be a breach of agreement. My boycott will end in one of two loose scenarios: 1. Cd's cost approximately 5 dollars brand new and artists who wrote and performed on the disc receive 50% of the profit from the disc. 2. Record houses supply me with an option to join a monthly membership that exposes 100% (and not a single song less) of their ENTIRE COLLECTION, and allow me to burn, copy, fold, staple, or mutilate to my heart's delight. Until then, the war goes on.
kingo	Date: June 2, 2005 @ 8:58 AM Svensta: very well said.
EmpireDay3	Date: June 2, 2005 @ 10:32 AM got the new NiN - didn't do a thing for me. might listen again, might not.
chrisbrooks	Date: June 2, 2005 @ 3:30 PM I like the New NIN CD. Not sure if Ill get the Foo Fighters yet. My jury is still out on that band(because of the movie awards thing), maybe Im too political.
chrisbrooks	Date: June 2, 2005 @ 3:31 PM I meant weezer. I get em confused sometimes. I may give Weezer a shot.
gerard100	Date: June 13, 2005 @ 10:57 PM the new white stripes album is wonderful. in reference to the above moral sermon, yea you could download everything and it doesnt do any harm, but do you really want to listen to a sub par compressed version of the actual music?
