that album is pretty good. noone sounds like them.

to me, being a metalhead for so many years (im 24, since the i was 11), its always refreshing and really exciting to hear metal done in a way i have never heard before, esp. this. they are sick.

I can tell he is intelligent,,, he must have his shit right, if he is rollin a audi ya heeaarrddd

my next car is gonna be an audi RS4, which is primary reason i went to law school in the first place. i also ended up (thus far) in the top 25%, which just proves that smoking chronic on a daily basis actually makes your I.Q. and cognitive capabilites improve.

For some stuff its worth buying the cd, but i'll be honest, the only reason I buy CD's any more is for competition purposes where you have to play an actual cd.

Most of the time I'll just use burned cd's or my mp3 player. The difference in sound of an actual cd versus an mp3 player isn't worth the hassle of having 100+ cd's in my car.

It's nice to have 3500+ songs at your fingertips without having to change cds. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I haven't heard any with my system yet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif but the ones I listen to are:#1 Hynotize (Intro)

#3 U Know What It Is

#4 J.E.E.Z.Y.

The others are okay, I like some more than the others. This CD will be the first CD played when my wall is done in 2 weeks... I've heard some good things about the lows //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

And mr. bones, it's all good, working out FTW!

winning powerlifting competitions (granted they were amateur or just at college/law school) has gotten me laid, even third place (out of 20) got me laid one time. i used to get 200 bucks for 4 hours of flirting with girls and drinking for free when i was a student at georgetown and bouncing some bars in adams morgan.

however, i have never known what in Science's name FTW meant?

if i hadnt gone away to college and done the things i did (thats all i will say until admitted to the bar in NY), I would have a pretty tight CD collection.
so when i started with my system, i started to realize i wished i had taken better care of my CD's over the years.

of course there are those CDs, like Aenema by TOOL, which u can buy 5 times, but most u wont rebuy them unless they were particularly good.

today i went to a Tower Records in long island that is going out of business, and every CD was 70-90% off list price. i got 20 CDs for just over 100 bucks.

very few of those CDs were new to me, most were CDs i had owned (when i had just a simple stock system), or albums i currently have in mp3 format in 320 kbps.

prior to today, i have bought 9 albums in the past 3 weeks. after today, i will be buying a lot more.

i hereby vow never to disgrace my system with an mp3 as its source material, unless, of course, when getting a CD format of the song isnt possible for whatever reason.

after listening to these 20 albums in mp3 format for the past several months, and then suddenly having all of them upgraded to CD quality audio, i cant deal with that mickey mouse bullsh*t anymore.

i am not sure what the response to this rather overtly-self-righteous thread i just started, but im telling you, after today my eyes are wide open. i listened to at least parts of every CD i bought and when compared with mp3s, even those ripped at 320, its like driving a german sports car thats half-an-inch off the ground after driving aroud in a dune buggy for a couple months, except this dune buggy has no suspension to speak of, its tires are flat, and on its hood it has a detailed-painted-portrait of what might be the oldest ***** in the world!
