  1. Michale Graves - Illusions Live/Viretta Park - I'm surprised at a couple of song omissions, but overall the accoustic live set is awesome... the Viretta Park portion is just demos that were recorded while he was in romania shooting a movie, the demos are pretty good.

    Wednesday 13 - Fuck It, We'll do it Live - again Surprised by a couple of song omissins, but overall its pretty solid...

  2. Gotham Road - Seasons of the Witch (2008) (So in doing what Michale Graves does, he re-realeased the Gotham Road EP with 8 addititional tracks... as a download from his site)

    Kryst the Conqueror - Deliver Us From Evil

    (Jerry and Doyle (well until Gorgeous Frankenstein for Doyle) in the beginning/end of their post-Misfits work)

    and there is probably more that i'm just forgetting

  4. Makeshift Romeo's self titled ep... not bad... not amazing... pretty solid.

    Angels and Airwaves I-Empire. If you liked the 1st angels & airwaves album you should like this one. Its pretty good. though the songs do tend to blend together during listening and i often fail to even register when a new song starts.

  5. I'm gonna have to say look at Gabriel's list... and most of the albums their i enjoyed. And I do agree that the Graves and Blaqk Audio albums are fantastic.

    and Piggy D's album "The Evacuation Plan" is really solid too...

  6. Bah, god dammit.

    Amazon.ca said that I'd have it before Christmas... so I cancelled my order. Then I try to order it from EBGames.com, and they tell me that they can't send it to Canada. Same as Amazon.com. What the fuck?

    At this rate, I am never going to get this fucking game! :thumbsdown:

  7. not much that i'd listen too off that list... so... 3 out of 10.

    1. Michale Graves - Numb

    2. The Used - Box Full of Sharp Objects

    3. The 69 Eyes - Science Gone Too Far

    4. Avenged Sevenfold - Forgotten Faces

    5. Black Label Society - In This River

    6. Black Label Society - You Must Be Blind

    7. Silverchair - Suicidal Dreams

    8. Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies

    9. Mushroomhead - The Fallen

    10. Avenged Sevenfold - Gunslinger

    (nowhere near the variety i was expecting to get...)

  8. Michale Graves - Illusions

    So the new Graves CD is in part a collaboration with Damien Echols (who if you don't know is one of the West Memphis 3, if you still don't know... look it up). Echols contribution was in the form lyrics for 5 of the songs. Unlike previous albums by Michale Graves this CD is mostly acoustic, including a re-recording of (the Grave's written) Misfits' song "Dig Up her Bones", and a live acoustic version of the Misfits "Saturday Night" (also written by Graves). Graves also re-recorded the song "Teenage Monster" (from his first solo CD "Punk Rock is Dead") The CD comes in at about 46 minutes which is about as long as both of Graves Solo CDs (the aforementioned "Punk Rock is Dead" and "Return to Earth").

    Lyrically there is a departure from the standard horror punk fare from Graves which is part of what the album is about. The lyrics of Graves and Echols do work well together, and do tie the album together, however, the re-recorded Misfits' songs do seem a little out of place here.

    The acoustic style of the album does allow Graves to show off his voice, which is a good thing.

    Overall, if you like Michale Graves solely for "Horror Punk" stay away from the CD. If you enjoyed the songs from Graves (the band... his first project after leaving the Misfits) and Gotham Road (in particular songs like "You Awful Me" and "Say Something") you will probably be into this album.

    For people who like numbers... I'll rate it 9 out of 10. I am a huge fan of Michale Graves, and this album really shows off his voice, and allowed him to do things a bit differently (again most expect horror punk from the man).

  9. so far two i'm interested in have been mentioned...

    Wednesday 13 - skeletons

    Blitzkid

    in addition to those...
