Last Album?

I was roundly abused at work today when asked what the last album I bough/illegally downloaded was. My response is not important - needless to say it led to howls of derision from my esteemed colleagues....

So my question to all you out there in Fulham cyberspace is" What was the last album you bough/illegally downloaded?"

America Mike - if it is Viva El Fulham then I respectfully suggest that, no matter how much I like this site, you lie! From here on in I am maintining that the Razorlights new album was purchased recently (I am adopting the liar approach).

 

To be exact, via BMG Music back in August:

Social Distortion

the Foo Fighters Skin and Bones though im still looking for the DVD part

 

Saw the commercial for that. Is it good? Is it a live best of?

 

For me it was the Killers latest effort, Sam's Town. I have not been too impressed with it either. Their first album is much better.

 

Last week, I picked up The Killers' "Hot Fuss" which is a great album. (I had heard others say that the recent one isn't so hot.)

I have never downloaded, legally or ill.

My most recent vinyl (yes, I do think it actually sounds better and have a good turntable) was Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head". Not worth the effort. I had hoped to pick up the U2 most recent greatest hits in vinyl, but have only heard rumors of it existing.

Oh, the best of The Alarm -- isn't that, like, a single?? (Kidding!! I happen to like the first album.)

And now, I am most intrigued as to what GBFC's purchase was. It boggles the mind. . .

 

It was an English folk singer called John Tams, the album was called the Reconing. This is a departure from my usual choice. I try to wait 5 years after it has been released before I buy an album to make sure I like it!

The last album I bought on the day of release was Queen - A Kind of Magic in 1986 when I was 12.

The last chart album I bought was Razorlight debut and I am going to pick up the new one in the week.

The main reason for the post was I am looking for inspiration for new music from current artists.

 

I was waiting for The Alarm joke to go off! You are just about right. Ahhh, but it reminds me of my youth.

 

Muse : blackholes & revlations

Razorlight : razorlight

The Clash : the Singles

 

The last CD I bought was Kasabian's newest album Empire. Best band currently around? hell yeah.

and, at the risk of AmericanMike laughing (or anyone else), I'll admit that I just ordered Lily Allen's CD from Amazon yesterday.

 

My most recent purchase (for myself, not as a Christmas gift for someone else) was Blood Mountain by Mastodon. If you like metal that is well crafted and smart, you'll love this album. Think Tool mixed with Fugazi with a dash of Dillinger Escape Plan.

 

my last album woz liberration transmition by lost profits it rawks man

 

I just did the same. Don't really know if I should be proud or ashamed, not a music type. No where am I more out of my depth than in a record shop, but hey she sounds good to me and I think shes got a nice smile :big grin:

 

How cool is that. I used to listen to Sgt. Peppers and Help over and over when I was a kid.

 

I recently bought a few albums....

Idlewild's new one, Kasabian's new one, Kaiser Chiefs new one and the last two albums by Say Hi To Your Mom. I can't comment much on the first three but the Say Hi To Your Mom stuff is good.

 

Before joining the i-pod revolution and started downloading songs instead of albums, the last full album bought was Rush in Rio. Already have some lawn seats when they come to Irvine in July.

 

Just bought 'We'll live and die in these streets' by 'the enemy'. Absolutely love it, very catchy album, like the Pigeon Detectives but even better.

 

Our Love To Admire - Interpol.

Solid album, not the best from them though. But I'm hooked on "The Heinrich Maneuver".

 

I bought it myself and quite frankly I have been disappointed with it. Compared to their first two it does not come close. Perhaps it will grow on me more with time, but thus far I am far from impressed.

What is sad is that I thought their first two records were fantastic. I was expecting more of the same with this new one but it was not the case for me and my ears.

To me, the album is missing something. Perhaps the energy and intensity of the last two records is not there. It almost sounds like the band is just going through the motions. That makes it an okay record, but not a great record and I am used to great Interpol records.
