[Frank Giaramita]

Here (http://www.absolutepunk.net/calendar.php?do=getinfo&day=2006-6-20&c=3) is a list of the albums in stores today (June 20, 2006). Which albums do you plan on purchasing?

[DeadXOnXArrival]

picking up cute is what we aim for today

[vegasbabyvegas]

Picked up the cute cd at Target. Fun cd.

[FstFtsVsFences]

I'm getting the Underoath special edition cd and the MCS rerelease for the dvd. Also picking up the Unrated Hills Have Eyes dvd.

[boldt_action]

uO, obviously.

[Gitch]

keane + underoath + blackpool lights = me being very content musically and my bank account with some money which makes me happier

[GreenJellyBean]

underoath hopefully.

[WSUskee]

For $6.99 I am going to give Cute is What We Aim For a chance and if I can find the Lucky Boys Confusion I am going to get that as well. Most likely that will be an ebay purchase.

[L-dawg]

I got Blackpool lights, which is really good, CIWWAF, which is alright kind of a let down though, and I got Murder by death, Which kicks ass. Wish I would have got it ages ago. I got them all for 7.99 from best buy. Great Deals.

[HazeLitRise]

deffinitely CIWWAF

[element101]

I got the Smoosh album.

[airik625]

Underoath - incredible cd at an incredible price, blackpool lights - fantastic cd good price - except i had to go to FYE to get this, it wasn't at best buy - it was still 10.99. and i made someone else buy CIWWAF so i could burn and diddn't wasn't my money on it. what did everyone else get

[FstFtsVsFences]

I'll be the first of many to say: fuck Cute Is What We Aim For.

[AShannon04]

picked up the new Underoath album this morning. A bit too heavy for me so far, but we'll see

[walshknilb281]

ne predictions for UO first week sales

[AShannon04]

what's on the Motion City Soundtrack DVD? Anyone know?

[mikearduini9]

I'll be the first of many to say: fuck Cute Is What We Aim For.

congratulations, captain dick, you just established yourself as the first ever-so-trendy "Cute hater" of this thread.

:efu:

[1000shadesofred]

I'm getting the Underoath special edition cd and the MCS rerelease for the dvd. Also picking up the Unrated Hills Have Eyes dvd.

Ditto!! along with obviously the CIWWAF

[FBRDC]

CIWWAF and UNDEROATH< baught earlier, both great CDS

[poppa Q]

what's on the Motion City Soundtrack DVD? Anyone know?Jared made a post about it sometime last week and explained everything that was on it...try to hunt that down.

Picked up Underoath and finally A to B Life.

[FstFtsVsFences]

congratulations, captain dick, you just established yourself as the first ever-so-trendy "Cute hater" of this thread.

:efu:
I like your avatar. :shrugs:

Dr. Bunsen Honeydew = the man.

[goughjustin]

underoath is projected to open at 80,000 cd....
hopefully there are no rolling blackouts in the CD stores

[CHRISRIPPEDOUT]

define the great line will have such a massive impact on every 14 to 18 year old kid in a local band right now.

[ishotthepilot]

i loved underoath for like a week a couple years ago, but they wear on me. i gave the new one a couple chances but, nope. uO, cute... somewhat disspointing.

LBC however is awesome and the thought of the motion city dvd excites me =)

[TheVolume]

dude Dragonforce today!

[clevername]

New uO i'm surprised I like as much as I do. It feels heavier, but not in like.. we decided to be harder way, but more of a progression. Like I got a crowbar, but heavier. I just like it overall. Haven't watched the DVD yet though.

I'm still trying to get the Trophy Scars CD...

[CantSlowDown]

underoath is projected to open at 80,000 cd....
hopefully there are no rolling blackouts in the CD stores

entourage fan? HELL YEAH! ill be picking up blackpool lights and underoath.

[mikearduini9]

I like your avatar. :shrugs:

Dr. Bunsen Honeydew = the man.

okay... that settles things i guess... haha

[goughjustin]

entourage fan? HELL YEAH! ill be picking up blackpool lights and underoath.

very excited

[S84newt2000]

CIWWAF, Blackpool Lights, and Underoath for $7.99 each at Best Buy, and I got the Motion City re-issue and decided to buy The Formats first cd since i love the new one

[_all_star_me_]

[xbrokendownx]

[unwritten]

Underoath limited ed.

[GRIFFARD]

i got keane and the deluxe underoath

[domesticyeti]

i've tried to get into Underoath, but i just dont like them.
dont really know whats so special about them.

[waggy]

stupid best buy didn't have blackpool lights, even though they advertised it in their circular. i did pick up the best of the replacements though, along with a shitload of superman dvd's.

[Nate_RAWKS]

I'm not picking up any cds this week so i can buy a 300GB External Hard Drive instead.

mmmmm 300 gigs.....:freakout:

I'll be picking up the Underoath in a couplw weeks though...

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

underoath. this album is AMAZING.

[sweetforever]

uO deluxe edition

[tomorrowiscomin]

I only wanted the MCS re-issue and couldn't find it anywhere. Typical

[the sob]

what's on the Motion City Soundtrack DVD? Anyone know?

i think ton of concert footage, a new video for Lets get fucked up and die, and a unreleased song "Invisible Monster"

[tpen892004]

i picked up the new underoath

[yaksordrpepper]

cutttttttttte. i can't help it. =)

[cahrishurr]

heres a clue....not fucking underoath, thats for sure

[IcedOpethBlind]

i bought UO yesterday because best buy had it early. :shrugs: :woot:

[IcedOpethBlind]

cutttttttttte. i can't help it. =)
well, you are a girl, soooo... . .

[joz]

agent sparks and smoosh.
should be fun trying to find them (easy on amazon marketplace, but i don't expect them in my local hmv anytime soon)

[slamon]

just picked up the cute cd, still debating about getting the underoath cd......

[Meggers]

I got CIWWAF. "Lyrical Lies" is growing on me, but I still love that as a demo more.

[leftstranded]

underoath and sleepaway(i'm a week behind cause they finally just got it in)

the dvd on the underoath cd is sweet and the cd is amazing

[leftstranded]

heres a clue....not fucking underoath, thats for sure
fair warning you may get a lot of criticizm for that. it might be my favorite cd so far of the year. i still have to listen to it more

and i know i gotta change my top cd's. i'll do it tonight so i don't wanna hear about the atreyu pick anymore!

[GreenJellyBean]

i just got underoath. currently listening to it. :D

i got cute the other day but i didn't buy it...

[Markus1186]

warrriorsssss come out to playy-eeyay

[xbrokendownx]

heres a clue....not fucking underoath, thats for sure




youre a canes fan, you would say that...

[cahrishurr]

youre a canes fan, you would say that...

aw someones bitter

dont worry, the dolphins might win the super bowl this year...its ok, wait nope..no chance

[laxcrs]

underoath limited edition, ciwwaf, and quietdrive even though it didnt come out today...i also forgot to get trophy scars which im pretty mad about right now

[Music Monster]

Where's Guster's "Ganging Up on the Sun"? That, Keane and Blackpool Lights are really the only albums to be excited about here.

[rhinitus]

received my copy of lbc on saturday which excited me...i want to pick up the new keane, i listened to a little bit at the virgin megastore. i listened to CIWWAF awhile ago and didnt like it, im hesitant to try them again. and theres also something about underoath that i just cant get into...perhaps its the fact that i generally dont like that kind of music

[kittypants]

Underoath is ridiculously good. I can't even listen to They're Only Chasing Safety anymore.

[makebelieve327]

I got the Smoosh album.

Smoosh came out two weeks ago on the sixth.

Nothing very exciting this week. I'm only buying Keane and maybe some previously released stuff I've been meaning to get.

[Big_Guy]

I'm trying to get Underoath and Blackpool Lights

[Nowisnotthetime]

I'm bummed again this week, none. Underoath I just can't get into, I don't mind people having their beliefs but don't preach it to me at shows. For Underoath it's Jesus, but I don't like politics or anything else, at shows. People shouldn't tell other people what to believe. I think bands like Thursday handle it right saying things like, "We're not gonna talk politics but everyone in the world is human and no one likes dying." It's something that makes you think without being preachy like the Underoath drummer saying literally, "Believe in Jesus."

[Tony]

Allmusic's review (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=Ajmkmu3idanok) for CIWWAF is gold (though it sure doesn't read like the reviewer thought it was a 2 1/2 star album).

[chokeychicken]

just got home from bestbuy. purchased underoath, blackpool lights, and keane. for 27 dollars. can't wait to dig into this new music.

totally forgot about murder by death.

[chokeychicken]

I'm bummed again this week, none. Underoath I just can't get into, I don't mind people having their beliefs but don't preach it to me at shows.

It's something that makes you think without being preachy like the Underoath drummer saying literally, "Believe in Jesus."

you're a fucking idiot. i've seen underoath plenty of times live, in all different types of settings, and they have NEVER, EVER, preached. they've said "thank you jesus for this opportunity," which is totally fine. it's what they believe in, and they're allowed to say it. if that's "preaching," then a ton of other bands in this scene preach stuff that are a lot worse. but just because its not religious, it gets overlooked. that's fucking retarded.

and i forgot to mention that i laughed out loud at some douche bag buying the new cute is what we aim for cd today. for anybody that spent money on that record, i feel bad for you.

why didnt ou spend the extra 3 bucks and buy keane - a band that actually has an ounce of originality and talent?

[theguilt engine]

CIWWAF & Underoath. and i finally picked up A&A.

[Criesofthepast7]

dude, you have to be kidding me, how can you guys go and buy CIWWAF? dang.

i bought a microkorg today, so maybe i will pick up Underoath tommorow.

[CountMeOut923]

i work at tower and everyone was picking up the underoath. i'm so glad they have some seriously dedicated fans. I got to get the poster and the 7 " that came with it. Very awesome stuff.

[PlaCracktheSky]

I picked up Underoath, and finally got around to picking up Criteria's When We Break. That CD rocks.

[Rick James]

I got Underoath special edition, CIWWAF,Counting Crows live, and motha fuckin DRAGONFORCE.....and for the first time ever i didnt have to ask anyone at best buy to look for the cds in the back they were all nicely placed on one endcap. Anyone else have that problem at best buy every week?

[dontgrabtindy]

just got underoath

[xbrokendownx]

my best buy didnt have CIWWAF

i HATE THEM

[_kelly]

underoath and blackpool lights
and im going to the lucky boys confusion show friday, so im gonna pick the EP up then

[El_Jeffe]

keane should be worth picking up

[TylerDurden911]

That Underoath SE rocks! The album is amazing, and the artwork/packaging is magnificent! I'm sure glad I held out until I got the album in my hands, it was definitely worth the wait! But no record store in town has that damn Murder By Death CD, and that really makes me angry... That album is absolutely wonderful, and I've been calling the local HMV every other day for the past month asking for it. Unfortunately, they're totally clueless...

[djUbilla]

you're a fucking idiot. i've seen underoath plenty of times live, in all different types of settings, and they have NEVER, EVER, preached. they've said "thank you jesus for this opportunity," which is totally fine. it's what they believe in, and they're allowed to say it. if that's "preaching," then a ton of other bands in this scene preach stuff that are a lot worse. but just because its not religious, it gets overlooked. that's fucking retarded.

why didnt ou spend the extra 3 bucks and buy keane - a band that actually has an ounce of originality and talent?Everyone should read this guy's first paragraph again.

[redryder7]

i would get the underoath cd today but i preordered it a month ago, its supposed to come today but hasn't arrived yet. im pretty POed to see the least. I want my UNDEROATH!!!! oh and i checked the tracking number and it arrived at my local USPS at 1:50 today. It's so close but i guess i'll have to wait for it tomorrow. note to self, never preoder anything again.

[lassise]

i got CIWWAF, its alright. i'll probably eventually get underoaths new jam, but i didn't really like some of the songs i heard, a little too much like their old stuff and not TOCS. i'll probably just dl the new commit this to memory song.

[lassise]

i am kinda glad to see that a lot of people picked up the ciwwaf cd. i definatley was expecting everyone to say hell no i didnt get it. i think it's okay, but i was a tid disappointed. i feel it was over hyped

[AbsentTruth]

I wanna get anterrabae and underoath

[Shatter_Glass]

Define the Great Line...and o heavens its great. Album of the year for its kind. OH and There were only (sadly) 3 Cute is What We Aim For cd's left and like half the underoaths. Granted Im sure Underoath was a larger order. Anywho that's just from best buy. I hope Underoath gets number one. That'd make me smile big.

[Nowisnotthetime]

Everyone should read this guy's first paragraph again.

I heard him say specifically "believe in jesus" it was on the coheed and 3 tour they opened on a long time ago. Don't tell me they didn't say because I heard it. And that is preaching. Oh and namecalling really enhances your argument so keep up with that.

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

Bought the MCS re-release.

[monicaaaa!]

CIWWAF, Blackpool Lights, and Underoath for $7.99 each at Best Buy, and I got the Motion City re-issue and decided to buy The Formats first cd since i love the new one
psh..i just paid 14.00 for ciwwaf at sam goody..damn their overpricement of cds. and i bought underoath for 10. why do i feel like the only one who paid more..:(

[jon.fftl]

Got the new Underoath. I was going to get Cute Is What We Aim For, but I checked in 3 stores and they all said "it's been delayed"..... probably a Canada thing.....

[FASSWcore]

anterrabae, the warriors, underoath..i've had better cd purchasing days, but i'm happy.

[chokeychicken]

i forgot to get dragonforce!

[MarkyMark1984]

underoath!!!!!

[cahrishurr]

i just got home from buying dragonforce!

[Bobcat46308]

fair warning you may get a lot of criticizm for that. it might be my favorite cd so far of the year. i still have to listen to it more

and i know i gotta change my top cd's. i'll do it tonight so i don't wanna hear about the atreyu pick anymore!

dude, keep it. it's a good album

lucky boys confusion sounds cool...

[AmIWrong]

warrriorsssss come out to playy-eeyay


Can you dig it?

[heytheredelilah]

cute SUCKED
i SHAANt ever listen to this cd again

[monicaaaa!]

hah..does anyone else find it funny that ciwwaf thanked absolutepunk.net in their band thank you? awh that was nice..

[NateOutlaw]

Before anything is read I do like underoath but they are
definatly not as good as everyone builds them up to be.

Only 2 people mentioned the Warriors.
Only 1 person mentioned Anterrabae.

Those two bands are way better than underoath ever was.

The Warriors and Anterabae are not the scene band with catchy
choruses,but they are definatly more talented than underoath.

I am definately sure that theres going to be alot of kids on this forum
that will say "i guess we know who the dick on this forum is"/"congradulations
you're an asshole"or something along those lines. This is a forum and there
will be alot of people who will talk shit but they only reason they talk shit is
because its on the internet. My guess is if it came down to it there would only
be 18% of this whole forum that would actually back up their shit.

Anterrabae/The Warriors for me.

[Java Nick]

Picked up Underoath Special Edition for ten bucks. The DVD is ok. Circuit City had a deal where you could get a t-shirt and the regular album for 10 bucks as well...

kinda dissappointed i didn't go for the shirt.

[agloriousruin]

I made a killing today, as I was catching up on things I missed. Ergo:

UnderOath "Define the Great Line"
Waking Ashland "Telescopes EP"
Keane "Under the Iron Sea"
The Hush Sound "Like Vines"
Halifax "The Inevitability of A Strange World"

I wanted to get the Fair album, too, but they didn't have it, nor did they have Blackpool Lights. The best part: I only paid $11.70 for all of this after gift cards, so that made me super stoked.

Also of note, for some reason they had The Hush Sound filed under Fall Out Boy, which I thought was kinda wrong...as well as confusing.

[Ailite]

Underoath, Motion City Soundtrack, both of which I love. I'll get Keane and Counting Crows this weekend. Today was a good release day.

[Of Dust and Nations]

tomorrow ill pick up UO regular and special (i always buy both if i really enjoy the album), MCS, and maybe LBC.

[.Dylan]

I don't want any of it. Just bought Trophy Scars though so I'm good for a little bit.

[ForeverInADay]

Anterrabae and The Warriors.

Hot shit!

[ForeverInADay]

cute SUCKED
i SHAANt ever listen to this cd again
oh snap a play on words!

[JohnnyG]

Underoath CD is so intense... So good. Get the limited edition version, it's worth it for $9.99. Such a good price for the cd.

[lightcollapse]

WHO THE FUCK IS BUYING CUTE IS WHAT WE AIM FOR.

you guys are all tools.

[hubbabubbal3ts]

tomorrow ill pick up UO regular and special (i always buy both if i really enjoy the album), MCS, and maybe LBC.

i'm glad you are supporting the band, but there is no difference in the two except the artwork and the special edition comes with a dvd. but if you down for that, more power to you. i applaud you supporting such a great band.

[hubbabubbal3ts]

WHO THE FUCK IS BUYING CUTE IS WHAT WE AIM FOR.

you guys are all tools.

the only way i would listen to this cd would be if i was given it. i would not waste money on this. i just think of these guys as a joke.

[chroma]

picked up underoath and cute, everyone knows how good the underoath album is. The CIWWAF demos sounded better than on the album.

[stickfigures]

got cute and maybe i'll get lucky boys

[skilar]

I got Underoath and the MCS re-release.

[monkeyboyrock]

I'm getting Dragonforce's Inhuman Rampage...everybody elses' albums are for vaginas!!!

[GlassyLight]

Wow, a lot of people are getting underoath -- i heard the new album four times at work today and was not impressed.

Didn't pick anything up today, as I have purchased the following and am still good to go for a while:

-Stadium Arcadium is still holding strong
-Finally replaced the stolen copy of OK Computer
-New Less than Jake is a lot better than everyone claims -- the lyrics own this one. Vinnie was right, give this fucker time and it will grow like a hyatidiform tumor
-Against Me! - As the Eternal Cowboy - got this after wearing holes in SFAFC. I still like the newest one most out of the four full lengths (yeah, sue me), but AtEC is still great

making rebounds in the playlist are:

-Reel Big Fish - Cheer Up! - can't wait to see them
-Radiohead - The Bends
-Rush - 2112, Farewell to Kings, and Test for Echo
-AFI - Decemberunderground
-Guns N Roses - Use Your Illusion I & II

*PS* - Everyone go outside and play some ultimate frisbee. I don't know about the rest of the country, but the weather here is fucking amazing.

[Of Dust and Nations]

i'm glad you are supporting the band, but there is no difference in the two except the artwork and the special edition comes with a dvd. but if you down for that, more power to you. i applaud you supporting such a great band.


nah man i know the difference, i just like to buy both editions if i really enjoy the album. they def. deserve my money.

[FuryCore]

picked up the new Underoath album this morning. A bit too heavy for me so far, but we'll see

You can't be fucking serious. A bit too heavy for you? Go listen to Hawthorne Heights and cry in your bed.

[NameTaken69]

i picked up the special edition define the great line at best buy, cant beat 10 bucks

[redryder7]

new dragonforce= $7.92 on iTunes!!!

[geekrockandroll]

I picked up the UO Special Edition and the CIWWAF. I think the Cute cd is a HUGE bust. For a band that was hyped so much (not by Tate) I wasn't very impressed. There's not a lot of hook to it.

[Groogz]

I was getting upset at reading the first few pages and not seeing anyone mention Dragonforce but then I saw a bunch of posts mentioning them after a while. Good choice to all of you who picked up the new Dragonforce CD. Not exactly new I guess, but new to the U.S. at least. Either way, fucking amazing CD!!

[uglystar03]

I bought the new Nelly Furtado
