I've just received my MF DOOM CD I bought for 25$ I won here in Puzzle game. I look at my collection, I only have like 40 CDs, and I'm wondering why I do not buy these so often anymore. I don't even remember last time I actually bought something. I don't like streaming music, but I guess I got used to it now. I still love the feeling of a CD case, the smell of the lyric book, all the little drawings or pictures artists include. I think that it is really important for an album, for it's consistency, for its feeling. Like Doggystyle, it wouldn't be the same without the little comic inside.

Here are some pictures, d--- this looks great.



Share pics of some of your fav albums and lists of your collection, if you have it.

Jul 25, 2016

i've only ever bought one physical copy of a CD

 

Jul 25, 2016

Ngl I have loads of Ems stuff on CD

stopped listening to him lately but it makes for a good display else my shelves would look pretty plain

 

Jul 25, 2016

Any particular reason that this is your only CD? Your fav album ever?

 

Jul 25, 2016

I started buying cd when TPAB came out this Album pushed me really wanna support an artist for the first time and after i got my first real job and some money i took that to buy a bunch of my fav albums i have like 20 cds in my collection since tpab dropped and i think i am enjoying it for the purpose of collecting them not really listening to cd's

 

Jul 25, 2016

Im sorry you wasted money on Yeezus OP

 

Jul 25, 2016

i just don't buy CD's.

i only have this for the sweatshirt that was in a bundle for it

Jul 25, 2016

Don't tell me you don't like Yeezus

 

Jul 25, 2016

I do but I've been slacking this year. Most of the albums that I like, I already own and there aren't that many newer CD's that call my attention. I prefer buying a CD to paying for a download or a stream. Buying CD's isn't the same as it was in the 90s or early 2000s. Walking through aisles of different albums, discovering new artists, buying albums randomly because you liked the cover or tracklist or because somebody briefly mentioned that artist to you. Virgin, Tower, The Wiz, FYE, Coconuts, etc are pretty much all gone (there's one FYE store in Queens that I know of but it's only a matter of time before that one closes down). Best Buy doesn't carry nearly enough albums. Fat Beats closed down almost 6 years ago, Other Music closed down last month. CD's are becoming a thing of the past. Ordering CD's online is okay but it takes away from the experience of actually going to the store, hearing it in the store (Virgin used to do that).

 

Jul 25, 2016

Yeah, if I really like the artist or the project I will. The last few I haven't opened the factory seal on (as I got the itunes copy of them Dl'd).

 

Jul 25, 2016

rt, I bought some of them simply because they were cheap or I liked the cover

 

Jul 25, 2016

I wished there were a TLOP physical or something dvd or blu-ray something to feel you have a piece of Kanye ...

Really need that physical...

Yeezus physical is nice btw

 

Jul 25, 2016

Yeah, I prefer buying physical CD's, but lately I'm just using streaming services.
