So, I didn't really know what to expect, but I'm not really disappointed at all (for the most part). I open up the box and the first one is:
Murderess - The Gate (EP, black)
This is a pretty great, dark thrash EP. The cover art made me excited to see it. This record is precisely why I ordered random Lp's in the first place. Listened to this the most.
The second is Maladie - S/T (EP, black)
While the cover art is mellow and calm looking (looks like some Neutral Milk Hotel bullshit) don't let that deceive you, since this is one killer Mexican Hardcore album. Though my Spanish is rusty (to say the absolute most) I enjoyed every second of this album. It's fast, loud and powerful. And the lyrics sheet is translated to English ;)
This last one I was very disappointed in. "Cashing In On Christmas, Vol. 3" (COMP, "Candy Cane" splatter). This had to be a joke or something. A christmas comp in January? I was kind of mad but, what can I say? It's 3 RANDOM LP's I payed for. The other 2 alone were definitely worth it. Might buy this again! Opened me up to 2 new, very awesome bands.
