Paradise Lost


Laughing Man

720 views

over the past year these guys went from being a band I had a somewhat casual interest in to being a band I consider one of my all-time favorites. in the last few months I've worked to obtain all their essential albums and this is the result. I'm still missing their debut Lost Paradise, the more synthpop-oriented albums Host and Believe in Nothing, and the 2005 self-titled album, although most of those aren't as well-received as the ones I've got so they're not quite as high-priority. I would also like to get their recent rarities compilation Tragic Illusion 25 at some point, probably digitally.

I'm not sure if you've answered this before, but how/where do you store your collection? From here, it seems like a lone bookshelf wouldn't do (which is where I keep my CDs).

 

I can't say I've listened to Paradise Lost, but as always, your collection is quite nice.

"how do I store my collection" is a question I've been asking myself a lot lately..

 

but for real, my collection is honestly a bit of a mess at the moment. I've got 27 snap-together CD storage boxes, each holding about 30 CDs, stacked in different places around my (tiny) bedroom. currently there's only one of them that isn't completely full, and it has less than half space remaining. I've got these boxes very loosely organized by genre (a set of boxes for rock, a set of boxes for punk, a set of boxes for alt/indie, a set of boxes for prog, a set of boxes for melodic metal, a set of boxes for extreme metal, etc.) but due to limited space it's not organized nearly as well as I'd like and I've had to make a lot of compromises I'm unhappy with (separating artists that I feel should be grouped together, for example).

 

once I get my own place I hope to re-organize it a lot better. buy some shelves and bookcases, work on properly categorizing and alphabetizing it, plus there's probably a few dozen CDs I no longer listen to that I could stand to sell (on that note: anyone interested in a complete Creed collection? I'm, uh, asking for a friend) at some point.

 

also, thanks for reminding me that topic exists. I've been keeping my collection up-to-date in a word document but I hadn't updated the topic in a while. finally did that just now.
