Reddit mentions: The best pop metal music

Here's a few that I have and love

Dave Matthews Band - Crash: All analog master and cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and pressed at MPO. Some bias, because I'm the resident DMB fan on r/vinyl, but this is a perfect release and what every band should model anniversary vinyl releases after. If Radiohead had done this with OK Computer, it would have been 1000x better; missed chance. Anyways, this is a must have for any DMB fan. $30 on Amazon

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik: All analog cut. Not sure if Bellman did this or Grundman himself, but it was cut at BGM. Maybe one of the best sounding remastered albums in my collection. It's extremely detailed and "revealing". Definitely recommend picking this up, both on the quality and the music itself - one of the best albums of the early 90's. $30 on Amazon

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium: Another all analog mastering and cut RHCP album, this one by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray. All versions (original, deluxe, and reissue) use the same stampers. It's a rarity that a 2006 album was recorded analog, so it's wonderful they kept the vinyl AAA. Full bass, and a really detailed high end. Highly recommend if you're into the band, it's a steal at $33 for a 4xLP

Nirvana - In Utero: Released for the album's 20th anniversary, this was a direct metal mastering and cut that used the albums original cut and contains a bonus disc featuring alternate mixes. There was also a version released in 2013 with all alternative mixes and was also all analog. Both are great and fully dynamic, though I prefer the original mix. Whichever mix you prefer, go with that version, you won't be let down.
$50 shipped (lowest available) for the 20th Anniversary release | $25 for the 2013 mix thru Walmart

Nirvana - Nevermind: Bernie Grundman mastered this one himself, and keeping with the theme from above this is all analog as well. Maybe the best album of the 90's, this is (in my opinion) the ultimate version of it. This master was released by ORG in 2009, but it was released again from the Geffen label using the same stamper in 2013 and pressed at Pallas. $24 on Amazon

Van Morrison - Moondance: This is the 2008 release, mastered and cut analog by Steve Hoffman & Kevin Gray at Acoustech and pressed at RTI. There's a really good discussion about this remaster and specifically the mix of Into the Mystic over at the Steve Hoffman Forums. $18 on Amazon

Phish - Junta/A Picture of Nectar/Lawn Boy/Rift/Hoist: All of these Phish albums are fan-freaking-tastic sounding. Bellman did them all at BGM and used all analog sources and cuts for each, minus Rift which was cut from hi-res digital files. All can be found at Phish Dry Goods for $50 each. A bit pricey but well worth it IMO!

The Beatles - 2014 Mono Remasters: If you want the ultimate, most true to the original, Beatles releases; this is what you want. These are all analog and do everything to mimic the UK first press releases. There's always good debate about Mono/Stereo for The Beatles, but there's no debate that these are top notch releases. You can buy the whole box for ~$350 or each release individually for $15-$25 each if you search for each on Amazon

There's really an endless amount of good, affordable, new records with great sound. Check out Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi/MFSL), Analogue Productions, Analog Spark, Music Matters, among others. MOV also does great work, though they generally use hi-res digital rather than tape to cut from. Also, look for the mastering engineers I mentioned above - Chris Bellman, Bernie Grundman, Steve Hoffman; plus Kevin Gray, Scott Hull, among others

I'm also recommending Blind Guardian's Nightfall in Middle-Earth, for obvious reasons...

Unfortunately, there was a post a few months ago about NiME not being available on Amazon and it still appears to be that way...

OP, if your gift card covers other sellers then you're in luck - you can get the imported version from other sellers, but it probably won't be able to be shipped for free.

That said, figure out some other things to get with the card, but DEFINITELY try to get a copy of NiME - it's an incredible album.

Other choices:

Symphony X - Either "V: The New Mythology Suite" or "The Divine Wings of Tragedy". Honorable mention to "The Odyssey", but V and Divine Wings are my two favorites. Symphony X is a bit of a Power/Progressive blend, but they're AMAZING, and they have one of the best vocalists I've ever heard in my life.

Avantasia - I'd start with "The Metal Opera". I'm surprised to not see it mentioned already, but it's also incredible, and there is a sequel (aptly named "The Metal Opera Part 2"). Really anything by Avantasia is great, but I'd start with The Metal Opera and maybe check out The Wicked Symphony next.

Kamelot - I'd start with "Epica" and "The Black Halo" and then maybe look into "Karma" and "The Fourth Legacy" if you like them.

I usually listen to this album when I run just because I can listen to it two times in a row without wanting to skip any songs.

Lately I've been branching out for running music. I'm not into podcasts for running, but when I work up to 4 hour runs and all that crazy stuff I will make it a habit. Anyway, check out R.U.O.K., Fiction Plane, stuff like that. Make a pandora station with them and branch out from there. That style of music is SO much more mellow than what I have always and forever been used to running with. I really like The Rain Band's stuff, though they aren't together anymore.

Here's a sample

Another one

Another favorite band, good song That last one is a bonus bc it is the best music video I've ever seen. The song gives me shivers I love it. The album has a lot of good stuff on it.

What do you listen to?

Hello drowgirl!

I would LOVE the new Skillet album if I am lucky enough to win!

For you, I'd recommend either an album by Seether (I like a lot of the songs on this one) or a different album by Skillet (the only reason I recommended this one for you instead of the one I linked for me is because I've heard this one and know I like it and I haven't heard the new one I linked for me yet).

I'd recommend either of these two albums for you because it looks like we have fairly similar tastes in music, and I first discovered Skillet when I created an "Evanescence" station on Pandora and they have quickly become one of my favorites. I discovered Seether through Evanescence as well through Seether's song "Broken" featuring Amy Lee.

Thank you so much for the contest!

Awesome! Which do you like most? For starters, do you use last.fm? I'm justabaldguy on there and that has a lot of the more electronic/chill stuff. I've found a LOT of great artists on there, including free downloads. If you sign up (free) and add me as a friend you can see my tastes. Very good way to learn new artists. I use that site daily when grading and doing online work.

If you want more progressive rock, my current new favorite is certainly In the Silence. A brand spankin' new band with just one album and (last time I checked) they don't even have a Wikipedia page! 3 is a good band too, especially The Ghost You Gave to Me. I am OBSESSED with Anathema though. Weather Systems is absolutely HAUNTING. Beautiful vocals, love the male and female duet on the second track. UN. REAL.

Indeed, and I do like I Ain't Superstitious to a certain degree, but I don't think I have a least favourite song from the album. But I can see how the song is a bit of an outcast to the rest of the album, definitely.

I don't know if the 25th anniversary edition is still on sale... Amazon to the rescue! You can preview the songs there, and the CD comes with a pretty good quality (much better than bootleg) recording of a concert in Cleveland 1987. I just find that this remaster keeps a good balance of the instruments, bringing them all forward, without exaggerating the bass and drums too much.

|about artist|Leslie Edward "Les" Claypool is a bassist and lead singer, best known for his work with the musical group Primus. Born on September 29, 1963, in Richmond, California, Claypool's mastery of the electric bass has brought him into the spotlight with his funky, creative playing style.

Megadeth released a new album not that long ago... I really want to headbang to it :P

And I don't know if you're a metal fan like I am... But I really... REALLY... recommend W.A.S.P. - The Crimson Idol... amazing concept album!... The last song "The Great Misconception of Me" is the most emotional song I've ever heard!

So, I suppose there are two things that are probably at the top of my list and aren't a super expensive camera:
This which is a little more expensive... but I do love me some PanterA.... or this because I am FINALLY bellydancing again, but my all metal hip "scarf" is just too dang heavy and probably too small for me... so I don't have one to wear. I suppose a hip scarf is a must have for belly dance though.

My user name is just a name that my high school best friend used to call me. Fairly boring story. I also used to get called "thejillmeister" ... but, thejills is shorter.

This is way easier than it sounds, but Amazon Japan has all their albums. Set up a Amazon Japan account with your credit/debit card, but when prompted for a name/address, use a fake address generator like this one. That should get you a new profile, just make sure you matching the shipping address with your actual address, rather than the fake Japanese one.

It can take between 1-4 hours for them to "verify" you, but they do in almost every case. I bought a bunch of Nintendo Switch games using this method, so I know it works.

Anyway, here are the links to each album on Amazon Japan.

Coming From the Sky

One of the best power metal bands of all time. Enjoy!!!

Short Music for Short People, it's a compilation, but its pretty awesome and super fast. Fat Wreck put it out.

Fantastic song from a fantastic album. If you like this, also check out their previous album, We're Here Because We're Here.

I was just watching some of my favorite parts of a documentary called A Band Called Death. If you haven't seen it, watch it! It's on Netflix. Death was a fuckin' awesome band and way ahead of their time.

Watch the movie and buy their album! Do it!

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit and anything from their Unplugged album

Pear Jam - Alive, Jeremy

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

Eve6 - Inside Out

Cake - The Distance

Fastball - The Way

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Greatest Hits

Deep Blue Something - Breakfast At Tiffany's

If you're in america this is the music collection which is the two disc set of all the songs, plus OP/ED, plus previously the stuff that wasn't on the previous OST releases. Bluray wise you can't go wrong as long as you get blurays of the TV show, there's no multiple versions of that thankfully

I thought that it was the album cover for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Greatest Hits album.
https://amzn.com/B0000C1733

I bought this one right here on Amazon for roughly 40 bucks. As far as I can tell, it has just about everything awesome from the show itself. Nothing from the movies, though.

Lend? It's 8 bucks here; 7.99 here; 7.25 here; and $5.49 here. It's well worth the purchase.

You can get the Ultimate Best album, though it is a bit light on the number of songs. It's on Amazon for ￥ 3,263 (just under $30) and ships internationally, but you might be able to find it somewhere else for less, especially if you find a used one, like this one from Mandarake

Or you could go for the show's full soundtrack, for a few dollars more on Amazon, but you'd miss out on anything from the movies.

As far as I can tell, those are the only things that have been released as standalones. There were CDs included with the BD and DVDs, but it's not easy to find those by themselves. I'd say go for the show's soundtrack because of the number of songs you get on it.

You should check out Alestorm on amazon.com then.

I bought it.

DRM free mp3s? Why not?

Yes indeed it is. You can buy this album from various retailers.

This album is a bit, hmmm, "sophomoric" (in my opinion), but fantastic nonetheless. It's got a great opener and closer, plus a few gems in between. There's only really one track that I don't like (Freakin' Out) and it's largely because they used it on "How I Met Your Mother" - and that ruined it for me.

Now, this was their debut - imagine if they had been signed by someone and given the opportunity to develop their work and their sound. That shit would've been fucking cash. All the lost potential.

Just bought the album off of Amazon, after listening to one song. Yes, they rock.

For $1 more you can have pretty purple wax

>it seems like there's little interest to support it like any other data carrier or format.

Possibly because they want to avoid piracy and/or have a restricted control on the format..

>do you know if one can buy the OST CD somewhere?

This exists for the series. But for Rebellion, the only OST CD mentioned is the one sold with the "limited" edition (it's just the only physical copy that existed at the nearest general tech store from my home to me lol).

Also note that the Rebellion OST CD somehow does not include the movie opening and ending (neither the cake song if that counts)..

>In that case, they should've let "wraith" untranslated.

Spectre exists as a valid translation and it sounds terrible to pronounce wraith with French. I just think they had no idea what they were talking about in that scene..

>An absolutely irresistible strategy.

Indeed.. Just like Kyubey, the Law of Cycles stood no chance..

>Yuuki Aoi is an outstanding voice actress however, her voice very diverse

Her other role I mostly observed is the recent one of Tanya the evil (didn't watch though) where you can straight up hear her saying in the ending that "Humans are useless no matter the side", are "only worth something in death" or even "pilling up bodies until it reaches the sky". Self sacrifice she said.. Because she had to she said.

Characters I really love in anime like Homura are often only mostly known for that "chosen one" role.. Not much of a complication until you realize Chiwa stared in an obscure harem anime you watched a long time ago when you were bored.

I'm assuming this one:

Blood Sugar Sex Magik https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005VPLZ76/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_qAASzbFX3SMEC

All of the music is from the KnK OST. I frequently use that and the Madoka OST as background music when I'm working, so I recognize all of it.

The ost already has its own separate release, which you can find here. I just got it myself last month.

That is wild how we just seem to know the pentatonic scale. Singing along is so natural. Fun video!

Also, weird question, but you've been mentioning the OST CDs, is this them?
