I recently did some dog sitting for my neighbors and got a pretty generous check as payment, so I went and spent it all on new digital music. Here’s what I bought:
Albums:
- Anthrax – Worship Music
- Blind Guardian - At the Edge of Time
- Helloween – The Dark Ride / Rabbit Don’t Come Easy (2 in 1 album)
- Iced Earth - Something Wicked This Way Comes
- Megadeth – Endgame
- Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black
- Nightwish – Wishmaster
- Overkill – Taking Over
- Primal Fear – Nuclear Fire
- Riot - Thundersteel
- Sabaton – Coat of Arms
- Symphony X - V: The New Mythology Suite
- Testament - The New Order
Songs:
- Accept – “Fast as a Shark”
- Dragonforce – “The Game” & “Fallen World”
- Iron Savior – “Titans of Our Time” & “Atlantis Falling”
- Manowar – “Black Wind, Fire and Steel” & “Wheels of Fire”
- Motorhead – “Ace of Spades”
- Nevermore – “The Sound of Silence”
- Disturbed – “Land of Confusion”
- HIM – “Wicked Game”
- Jet Black Stare – “Ready to Roll”
- UFO - "Lights Out"
- Bonnie Tyler – “Total Eclipse of the Heart “& “Holding Out for a Hero”
So basically, lots of metal, plus a few other random things. This should help me keep up my running for a while.

Over the last three weeks:

All great stuff, to be sure... ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}

Somehow you know that the time is right.
Lindsay Schoolcraft - Rushing Through The Sky
"Strategy? Spacing? I just keep punching until I hit something." - Sol Badguy
Bad Religion - Recipe For Hate. I like the other stuff of theirs I've heard (mainly Suffer and Stranger Than Fiction), and I like "American Jesus", which was one of the singles off this one.

x 5: I like most of the Judgment Night soundtrack. To me some of the more interesting tracks are less "rap metal", more um, "rap indie rock" - specifically I'm thinking of the De La Soul and Teenage Fanclub, Cypress Hill and Sonic Youth, and Dinosaur Jr. and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien collaborations.

The deluxe remasters of The Real Thing and Angel Dust by Faith No More- still their best albums- and the first three Danzig albums.
Incidentally, I wonder if any of the other FNM albums will be getting the double-disc remaster treatment sometime in the future? I kinda hope so... 
Haven't arrived yet but here's what I've ordered:
- Eight Miles High b/w Why
- A Web of Sound vinyl
- Nuggets: Original Artyfacts... vinyl
- Seeds Singles Collection CD
- Since I Left You CD
- Bee Thousand CD
- Psychedelic Furs CD
- 3rd/Sister Lovers CD
- Endtroducing... CD
Just A Guy
Why not just buy the Seeds albums- they've been remastered recently, and they're all pretty solid, IMO. 
Also, Endtroducing...- nice choice. 
Who doesn't love some DJ Shadow?...
I've got The Seeds/A Web of Sound on CD already. From what I've heard, the albums after that aren't that great, but A Web of Sound is one of my favorites now.

- Sigh - Hail Horror Hail (Chinese edition, as above)

Digital:
Various - Keep Safe Boston 2015
. A digital-only compilation of Boston/New England local music released for charity. A really long one, in fact - 55 songs from as many different bands.
Yes - Fragile. Specifically a 2003 remaster with two bonus tracks (their cover of Simon And Garfunkel's "America" and an alternate mix of "Roundabout"). I've only listened to "Roundabout" right now, but it does sound a lot clearer than the older, used CD version I used to have. I was tempted to get Tales From Topographic Oceans, which I might get later: Both were $5, Tales... is longer, and for whatever reason, I always get really interested when an album seems to have such a love or hate reaction towards it.
Records:
Prince And The Revolution - Around The World In A Day
Devo - Duty Now For The Future
The Jam - Self-titled 12" note

Not in love with rap metal, but my coworkers are. And I do in fact love Living Colour and Teenage Fanclub. So there's that.
