ORANGE GOBLIN - c'mon people!

They've actually gotten more straight-ahead metal as they've gone along.

Rise Above put out this nice box set with O.G.'s first 5 albums, each with a bunch of bonus tracks and stuff...

I actually saw this for sale at the local FYE for $49.99, which seems kinda cheap to me ($10 a disc), since most of their albums are on the pricey side. I have 4 of the 5 discs in this set, so I just might pick this up for their debut and bonus material.


And with any luck, I could make back what I spent by selling off the discs I already have on on ebay.



PS I have Theiving from the House of God spinning right now as I type this.

Yeah, I'd love to get the box set eventually.

I had a decent night playing cards recently, so as a present to myself, I ordered the box set. Sweet!

There is a new Orange Goblin coming in February. "A Eulogy For The Damned".

REALLY excited about this one!

I'm so there!

A know, the new album sounded great the first tome I jammed it but after that I find it really mediocre...maybe I need to give it another chance as I really like the rest of their stuff.

I like it alot. I have to be in the right frame of mind for Orange Goblin, I generally go on binges and listen to several albums in a row. I think the new album is better than the last 3, but not quite up to the level of the first 3.

Of course it's been a slightly different band because they dropped the second guitarist after the third album.

That could be why I haven't cared much for this last album. Maybe I just gotta be in the right frame of mind for Orange Goblin as well, I won't force it but when I'm in the mood for their stuff I'll jam it and see how I feel.

Coup De Grace is still my favorite. Have yet to hear the new one though.

I'm not sure where I'm at on the new album just yet. I don't love it or hate it. It's just...there. I've been giving it some repeated spins, but it's not grabbing me by the short & curlies.

I have however, been blown away by the last 2 Mastodon albums I just got, so everything else I've gotten recently has taken a backseat to them for now. I shelved the new OG album for the time being, but I'll revisit it again and see how it stacks up.

I did like the song 'The Filthy & The Few' enough though to include it on my HoM comp that I'm sending out to metalken.

I probably only like about 1 metal band out of every 100, Orange Goblin is one of the few that just works for me. Can't really say "why", it just is.

You goin' to an OG gig?

No, I just saw the picture on facebook and it made me chuckle.
