My Collection as of 05-01-12 Part 2 E-J

I had a few extra minutes on my hands so I thought I might as well add another post of my collection from where I left off.

E


Edguy- Hellfire Club (like I said in my other post, happy feel good power metal)

Exodus- Shovel Headed Kill Machine (Solid album from front to back. It's my first and only Exodus album I have and it's pretty awesome!)
                                                                     What a cover!

                                                               
F

Fear Factory- Obsolete
                      Archetype
                      Mechanize (I love how heavy FF is, but I think Mechanize is their heaviest!!! The guitar sound is so low, I think they might be using an 8 string although I'm not 100% sure. This is one of my favorite albums and I listen to it front to back almost every time.)

                                                                 
Fight- War of Words (If you've read my other posts you know how I adore Fight. This is another favorite of mine. In my opinion Fight is way better than Priest.)

                                                                     
and I have War of Words the Demos

Fires of Babylon- Fires of Babylon (one of many side projects from Rob Rock. If you know his style this won't surprise you. It's so-so for me but I'm not that big a fan of Rob Rock, I only got the album for the song "Lake of Fire" which wasn't available on itunes until recently. Cool album cover though.)

                                                             
Flyleaf- Flyleaf (I'm sure you're wondering, "What the heck, that's not metal?", and you're right but I enjoy it and it's part of my collection and it's my blog so shut up and just skim over it. Other than that, I like her vocals.)

For Today- Portraits (Excellent Christian Deathcore! If I had to pick the most Christian based band these guys and Mortification would be at the top of my list. Portraits basically tells the stories of great figures in the Bible and I REALLY like this whole album. Every song is brutal and in you're face. One of my many favorites.)

                                                                     
and their latest- Breaker (Just as brutal with the message but not as good as Portraits, but still an okay album.)

G


Green Day- Dookie (I know, they aren't metal either but they used to be good back in the day. Take this album. Its my favorite of their's and it came out in 1994.)
                   Insomniac
                   Shenanigans

H


Hope for the Dying- Dissimulation (This epic material, poetic and lots of fancy guitar work. Just very very nice.)

                                                                       

I


Iced Earth- Dystopia (My first IE album and I enjoy it. I listened to it 3 times in one day.)

                                                                     
I, the Breather- These are My Sins (Decent metalcore but without the annoying whinny vocals)

Impending Doom- Serpent Servant (Good heavy dirty sounding death metal)
                             There Will be Violence (Great heavy clean sounding death metal. Brutal from front to back!)

                                                                         
In Flames- Jester Race/Black Ash Inheritance
                  Clayman

In the Midst of Lions- Shadows (Crushing deathcore!)

(HERE WE GO! To keep this post from running on into infinity I'll try to only say a few words about the next albums. I know I'll probably have a separate post just for this artist anyways.)
IRON MAIDEN- Piece of Mind (BUY IT!)
                            Powerslave (BUY IT!)
                             Live After Death ( It's like the best of so far. BUY IT!)
                            Somewhere in Time (The underrated and over looked album. One of my favorite album covers. BUY IT!)
                            Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (BUY IT!)
                           Dance of Death (I know, what a big jump. Still, BUY IT!)
                            A Matter of Life and Death (BUY IT!)
                           Somewhere Back in Time (A best of the 80's. I as I add more to Maiden to my collection this will probably become useless to me. I bought it before I really got into Maiden's back catalog. If you are a casual Maiden listener, BUY IT!)
                            From Fear to Eternity (The best of the 90's to present. This was my first IM cd so just like the album before it I have no doubt that this will become useless to me as well. If you are a casual Maiden listener, BUY IT!)    
                         Iron Maiden being one of my absolute favorite bands will get a solo post so don't fret.

                                                             
J

Jimi Hendrix- Smash Hits (It's what it says. Pretty much the only Hendrix you need. Great Nam music as I like to call it.)
                                                      One of my favorite musicians, rest in piece

                                                                             
Just on a side note I do have his Live at Woodstock dvd. It has his awesome rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner"!

Joe Satriani- Surfin' with the Alien (interesting)

Judas Priest- Ram it Down (No metal collection is complete without some Priest. Although I don't really like Priest that much I do appreciate what they did to help move metal along. I know it isn't classic Priest like "British Steel", "Screaming for Vengeance", or "Sad Wings of Destiny" but it was free so I'm complaining.)    

That's all I have time for right now but I will finish my collection eventually. I'm finally getting to some good stuff. Until next time.....keep it METAL \m/
