ALL CDS 4!
Soul of a New MachineSoul of a New Machine by Fear Factory
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £1.13
Never bothered with the remaster for this one, though I should have as it sounds a lot better.
DemanufactureDemanufacture by Fear Factory
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £1.96
Perfect album. My first copy of three, now down to two.
Demanufacture +3Demanufacture +3 by Fear Factory
Buy used from: £24.98
This is the digipak, with excellent bonus tracks.
RemanufactureRemanufacture by Fear Factory
Buy new: £12.69 / Used from: £1.32
Not so good remix album, though two or three of the tracks are totally fantastic.
ObsoleteObsolete by Fear Factory
Buy used from: £4.22
Obsolete may well be their best album. Digipak feautres Gary Numan cover, but the other bonus cuts are varied in quality. Recently snapped mine in two by accident.
DigimortalDigimortal by Fear Factory
Buy used from: £1.24
Ah, Digimortal. Production's not great, but the band are on top form, fun-wise. Great tunes, from A to B.
LinchpinLinchpin by Fear Factory
Buy new: £5.89 / Used from: £8.59
Jesus, I love the Linchpin Australian Tour EP. Let's not forget Australia is in Holland now. Great Bs.
ArchetypeArchetype by Fear Factory
Buy used from: £2.50
Ah, the comeback. That first sleepy listen in the school library, and the million or so thereafter. What a summer.
Transgression [CD + DVD]Transgression [CD + DVD] by Fear Factory
Buy used from: £3.98
Loved it, hated it, now I'm somewhere in between. The production DOES NOT SUIT.
The SinglesThe Singles by Feeder
Buy used from: £2.20
A cheap Tesco purchase. As with most best-ofs, I'd rather have the indiviual albums, but until money frees up a little, this perfect comp will do.
Foo FightersFoo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.99
Great first album. Nailed the pop-rock-metal formula first time out. Great fat, bassy sound.
The Colour And The Shape: 10th Anniversary EditionThe Colour And The Shape: 10th Anniversary Edition by Foo Fighters
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.49
Even better follow-up. One of my few perfect albums. This re-release has some great bonus cuts, includeing a Killing Joke cover and the unfairly excised title track.
There Is Nothing Left to LoseThere Is Nothing Left to Lose by Foo Fighters
Buy new: £4.88 / Used from: £0.97
Heading towards the murky waters of total worldwide popularity, but still keeping things heavy with a couple of tunes. The first album with a few skippable tracks.
Bring It OnBring It On by Gomez
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.53
Will I ever listen to it???
Head HuntersHead Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Buy new: £4.68 / Used from: £2.74
Great 4 track, 45 minute album. Heard it in HMV one day and recognised the song Beck pseudo-quoted, and bought it on the spot. Great album
Pills 'N' Thrills And BellyachesPills 'N' Thrills And Bellyaches by Happy Mondays
Buy new: £6.58 / Used from: £2.48
A few top tunes and a few duffers. Brings back memories of a hot, beer-filled summer that never took place.
Between Two Worlds [Digipak]Between Two Worlds [Digipak] by I
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £9.96
Best album of 2006? Very likely- top metal from Abbath and pals.
At the Heart of WinterAt the Heart of Winter by Immortal
Buy new: £8.98
The only Immortal album to get across to me the whole "this is freezing" concept.
Sons of Northern DarknessSons of Northern Darkness by Immortal
Buy used from: £6.50
Certified (lie) classic metal. Should appeal to non-black metal fans, as it's so good. Bonus DVD- handheld footage shot from THE BACK of the tiny club. Pointless.
PowerslavePowerslave by Iron Maiden
Buy new: £5.28 / Used from: £3.74
Why can't they all be like this. I love this album to death but no other Maiden album is anywhere near as good.
Seventh Son of a Seventh SonSeventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden
Buy new: £5.38 / Used from: £3.28
Bought this as I quickly became addicted to Moonchild and the title track. Developed a fondness for Can I Play... soon afterwards.
Off the Wall: Special EditionOff the Wall: Special Edition by Michael Jackson
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.24
To be honest, I only bought it because it was cheap. Some greats, but they're on HIStory anway.
ThrillerThriller by Michael Jackson
Buy new: £14.19 / Used from: £1.99
You know what its like. Shame about all the crap tagged onto the end of it.
BadBad by Michael Jackson
Buy new: £16.09 / Used from: £2.90
Same again, though bonus track Streetwalker is album-worthy.
DangerousDangerous by Michael Jackson
Buy used from: £2.17
Too long. All tracks sound very samey. Overindulgent, I'm afraid.
