I listened mainly to house/hardcore/gabber from 1995-2000. I collected Thunderdome and other hardcore-series on cd!
After 2000 my preference turned to the other side of hard music, metal. From 2000 on I started listening to Pennywise, Blink-182, Bloodhound Gang and went on to Machine Head (3), Disturbed, Korn, Metallica, Iced Earth and all sorts of other music friends recommend!
My favourite band right now is Korn, and I have pretty much all music they've released. Machine Head (3) and Iced Earth arrive second place!
Besides these music streams I sometimes listen to Timbaland, I had a Fatboy Slim period and can sing all lyrics along with Relax.

Iced Earth - The Crucible Of Man: Something Wicked Part 2 - 12-Sep-08 07:09 AM
Wow what an album!
Let me tell you a little something about the story behind this and the previous album;
The albums tell the story of the Setians, who were the original inhabitants of Earth, and are directly descended from the "Great Architect". They are said to have nearly omniscient knowledge. Humans, who have developed space travel, invade Earth in a bid for "ultimate power and ultimate knowledge", killing all but ten thousand Setians.
The remaining ten thousand go into hiding in the mountains in the east. The Setian High Council, which consists of the twelve Elders and the High Priest, make a plan to get revenge on the invading human race. They plan to initiate "The Clouding", which involves brainwashing all the humans and making them forget their origins. Once completed, the Setians will manipulate history by creating religions--Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc.,--to further divide the humans. Once human kind is sufficiently divided, after ten thousand years, the Setians will await, as the prophecy told millennia ago, the birth of the Antichrist, Set Abominae. Set Abominae will destroy all of the human race and execute the revenge the Setians have long awaited.
What a story! In the booklet they show the story in drawings in manga-style! This album is the absolute must for every metal-fan! The music is perfect, good guitar riffs, well sung chants (Guess who's back... it's matt!) with additional backing vocals. This album just is complete, not missing anything at all! Buy! Buy! Buy!
Iced Earth - The Reckoning - 22-Aug-08 04:17 AM
I was very suprised to see Matthew Barlow on this release as backing vocals. He just passed the Iced-Earth-singer-torch to ex-Judas Priests' Tim Owens but is still present on this release. I don't know if some songs are prior to the Tim Owens period, but then he would not be credited as backing vocals. Anyways, I've see Tim Owens doing his thing, and believe me, he is Iced Earth worthy. Since the return of Barlow in 2007 I would still recommend him as back-up when Barlow is sick or something like that! All and all very good single-release!
Various - Thunderdome - Limited Edition Remix - The F**ckin' Megamix - 18-Aug-08 10:47 AM
Collectables!
If there is any reason why ID+T released this many Thunderdome cd's and singles it would be to make it hard for the collectors. After 5 years I had collected almost every Thunderdome cd out there. Then they made a 2002 re-release and I gave up. My money had a better use then collecting almost every cd three times.
I don't know if this release was made before the 'megamixes' series or as an extra. I do know that there are that many releases that it will cost you a fortune to collect all of them! Let alone the (many) missprints!
How about a collectors catalog, ID+T? Or a reprint or collectors box of all (maxi)singles? Would be happy to buy that to complete my collection! And ID+T would make some money off of it. The auctions on ebay and marktplaats bring nothing in, just ripp off collectors to complete their collection!
Come on ID+T, I dare you!
System Of A Down - Mezmerize - 18-Jul-08 03:35 AM
I've waited a long time to buy Mezmerize and Hypnotize by System Of A Down. I had two copies and together they make 1 decent album. Some numbers should have been b-sides and SOAD decided to add them and make two albums out of it. Both albums are very short and released at the same time. Reminds me of the days Metallica made 3 singles out of every song released. Makes it almost impossible and priceless to collect all work by one artist. I finally bought both albums for 14 euro's total, which would be a normal price for one album.
Still, both albums do have good tracks on it. Some lyrics are a bit simple (take "My dick is much bigger than yours") but that's true for a lot of bands in the metal-punk scene. What's the main difference with the previous albums "Steal This Album", "Toxicity" and the selftitled one is that these two seem more serious. Also more vocalistic than the other ones. I would have rather seen one album (not 2) with the same explosive music like the first 3 albums.
Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side - 11-Jul-08 12:03 AM
Heard Amon Amarth for the first time in 2007 on the Fields Of Rock festival and damn, they kick ass! This album was just released then and ofcourse they played some tracks of of it! This album has some hard, deep and beautiful guitar riffs and together with the raw vocals make it complete as viking metal. The vocals are all about the viking days and even though the electric guitar probably wasn't part of that time while listening to this album you can imagine how the vikings lived pretty good! Buy this album! It's one of the best loud stuff I ever heard (except Machine Head)!
