Bad Religion's "The Empire Strikes First". Album smokes, awesome lyrics.

How does this compare with the older Bad Religion albums? Bad Religion is probably my favorite band of all-time but I drew the line at Recipe for Hate. Recipe for Hate is so-so and I'm pretty sure anything after it is crap.

Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore East Deluxe Edition. The original album wasn't the full concert. The deluxe edition isn't one seemless concert recording, but puts together the original set list, in order, culled from the 2-3 nights they played.

Very cool stuff.

Honorable mention: The Who's, Who's Next Deluxe Edition.
These "deluxe editions" are pretty cool. This one has the complete original album and some studio outtakes on disc 1. The 2nd disc is a live recording of most of the album and some other unreleased stuff The Who were working on at the time.

There's a long backstory to the album that Pete Townsend explains in the booklet. But basically, they were working on a follow up to their rock opera "Tommy". It was supposed to be a story, live concert film of rock saves the world type of thing called "Lifehouse" that never got off the ground. They were playing live/rehearsals, that were open to the public, and the 2nd disc is one of those performances.

With all the technology and pre-recorded tracks that are used to help fill in gaps, that most bands use in concert these days, its really amazing to hear the sound that 1 guitar, 1 bass, and 1 drummer can make.

If your looking for classic, legendary albums to add to your collection...these are two to get.

Great choice. However, I just recently bought Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, so even though I've had all those songs for a long time electronically, I still have to go with that one. I love that album.

I assume you have Soft Bulletin? I think the greatest album of that year.

One of the greatest combinations of music and lyrics are in the song the Spark that Bled:

And it seemed to cause a chain reaction
It had momentum, it was gaining traction
It was all the rage, it was all the fashion
The outreached hands had resigned themsevles to
holding on to something that they never had
And that's too bad
Cause in reality there was no reaction

The latest Perfect circle is good.

My brother got me into QOTSA recently, so I had to buy all of their stuff, f'ing great.

Super joint ritual(with phil from pantera) is pretty good.

WARNING to all metalheads-- I never thought I'd say this, but the new Clutch sucks! They managed to change their stlye 100% in every previous album and still remain great, not this time.

I was wondering about the new APC. I liked the first album a lot, but wasn't crazy about the first single off this one. I liked it, but wasn't terribly excited. You're the first person I've heard say anything about it.
