Coming home from the store with a new audio compact disc.
So... when you went to Best Buy today to buy the new Coheed album, did you bust it out right away and play it in the car on the way back home/to work, or do you say [censored] it and dick around with the 293797 wrappers once you get to home/work?
By the way, for those who are waiting until after work tonight to buy it, Best Buy has an exclusive package with a second, 4-track live (at The Avalon in L.A.) disc and it's $9.99 - cheaper than probably anywhere else.

I always tear open the disk right away and listen as I drive. The "anti-theft devices" are freakin' annoying though, that's for damn sure. Swede [/ QUOTE ] I even read the liner notes at stop lights. The Vibesgirl always thought I was so weird. If I buy more than one CD I open them all even tho I can only listen to one. BTW, I also don't know what a Coheed is, but that's not surprising...they must be current. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Coming home from the store with a new audio compact disc.
Sorry, I just can't stand this group. They sound too much like a Rush tribute band. As far as CDs in general go, I definitely listen to it on the way home. A few weeks ago I picked up Tool's Undertow. It was the first time in years that I'd bought a CD; having a steady income and not wanting to bother with finding a download network, along with having a giftcard anyways, led me to actually purchase the damn thing. It was actually a pretty good feeling to be opening a CD again, and it brought back some excitement for music.

Re: Coming home from the store with a new audio compact disc.
I think they sound like Rush too, and saying, "except for the lead singer's voice" is a bit like saying someone sounds nothing like Sinatra, "except for the voice." Its a big part of what makes their sound distinctive.
How come I can tolerate Opeth's vocals, but I have to turn these guys off the second the lead opens his mouth?

I agree the singers voice is a huge part of a bands sound, but you cannot discount the music, and musically this band sounds nothing like Rush. JunkHead
