Some New Ish CD's

Just a few CD'S purchased recently

Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare




Written in the aftermath of Jimmy "The Rev" dying at the age of 28. Some of their best stuff in my opinion, including a couple of quick nasty tracks befitting a heavier band. "Buried Alive" the best for me.

Mad Caddies - Consensual Selections



Apart from two tracks, Caddies fans will know all of these. Still great though!

The Bluetones - A New Athens



Probably dreaded this the most - loved The Bluetones since "Expecting To Fly" but they've tailed off a bit and the last album was pretty average. I feared more of the same but have been pleasantly surprised and would say this is some of their best work since ETF. Personal fave is "The Culling Song" but there are plenty of strong tracks on here including a hidden instrumental.

Blur



Never got into Blur and only got this for "The Universal" which I really like. However, it's strange how many tracks you end up remembering - like "Charmless Man" and "Coffee & TV". Really good listen.


Hatebreed



Just had to get another shouty, full on kick in the nuts record and this fits the bill! A brilliant instrumental in here too but in the main just loud guitars and lots of shouting!
