Hope you like The Power & The Glory, it was a quite tough album to get into, for me, don't like it that much, but I appreciate all it's "genius"

I was expecting to have a hard time with the GG, but it's caught on rather quick with me! Drama is gret so far, I love the darkness brought on by a lack of Anderson. That's the only Gillan that I have, I was looking for CAT but they didn't have it. I don't really have an opinion of that one yet, more to come later.

Oh God Pablo, don't remind me - I have a giant stack o cds sitting here waiting for a review and an even bigger stack of vinyls.


I just need to get in the right mindset and they'll all be reviewed within the day

Because I know you all are so desperately wanting to know what I have added to my collection.                 And what I've picked up in the last couple of days:

^Yes, because they are paupers right now. Grammy-winning paupers, mind you, but paupers nonetheless.

I have a tendency to have my joke posts start at least somewhat serious and then quickly devolve into utter nonsense.

First purchase made in a while..

Going on a little Umphrey's McGee binge here.  Mantis and Local Band Does OK.  Anchor Drops is on the way, but I see the last review one starred it.  We'll see if that reviewer gets any credibility with me. Just kidding, tastes are tastes.  I say believe the hype.  If you like the streaming tracks that are posted here, I think it's safe to say you'll like this band. 

I have a feeling I'll have collected the whole studio discography before the year is out.
