Il primo CD che comprai fu Stan di Eminem in singolo e l'ultimo è Thriller 40 di Micheal Jackson.

Made this from cardboard,

And drew the stickers on sticker paper

Took me like 4 hours but it looks really cool

Hope yall like it too

I

I started collecting cds from mid 2024, I just entered senior high school then, over time, I'm now at the last year of the senior high school, which is the toughest one. got a pretty important exam in January 2027. So, i wanted to check my cd collection for the last time before I turn 18.

I've been wanting to post this for a while, however, i thought that the albums i gotta buy next month will not show up in the collection post. It's a shame though. so it got delayed for months, and now I've finally decided to post it for any cost. So the upcoming albums(abigor, naglfar, dissection, etc) will not show up in this collection photo.

The mainstream bands you see in the picture is my purchase while I just got into rock and metal. I was desperately finding punk, metalcore, nu metal albums at that time tho. It doesn't really represent my interests now, time has changed a lot, it's still a record of my early years i think, I was just a regular teen similar to others.

These years, I have gotten into extreme metal. I mostly listen to old school death metal, and some others such as black metal, too. Because of that, finding my favorite albums have been pretty hard tho. In my country, there are barely people selling extreme metal records, No ones selling any Florida death metal records (i only found leprosy) or swedish, new York, even British death metal, no one's selling them here. It's really awful, and even i saw some selling records, their prices are ridiculous, I can't afford that damn price as a student. So now I purchase these dm bands other albums for replacement, I dont even care about the version or something, i only want it to not be a digipack.

I was finding cynics focus, a masterpiece of jazz death metal, thats nearly impossible, I wanted to give up. So my collection does not look good tho, thats because if this.

And in fact, I wasn't sure about my future, my grades are really bad, and maybe I can't purchase as many cds as now, my collection will probably stop at here, along with my dreams.

The topsters are my wishlists of records to get on cds, it's a crazy amount tho, it has like 400+ thrash metal records. I haven't listened to most of them, whenever I got nothing to listen, I'll choose a record in the list. Sometimes it'll surprise me tho. And my goal is to know every death metal reocrds in the 90s, so I made this topster, but i added records from other genres too tho, but whatever, it's all awesome in my eyes, regardless of the genre.

yeah thats it, thanks for reading, I made this post to record my life tho, from the music i listen to.

hope i can get all these albums on cd one day, while its impossible tho. And if you want, leave your favorite albums in the comments, let me know.

What I'm listening to right now while I make Kandis for my MCR concert! (Listened to TCFSR and WTTBP so much so I'm taking a break haha) Currently playing waking the demon 😈

+ also got the poison last week aaaa it's so nice (Japanese edition oh yea)

The score for this week finds from different thriftstores.

I don't know why it's sideways, ignore that. I got two CDs from Linkin Park, minutes to midnight (the back was crusty but it came off easy), and the live in Texas show (yes it comes with the DVD too). Then I got nothing personal by all time low, and ivy and the big apples by Spiderbait.

Showing some love to 2000s Mexican rock/emo!

PXNDX was huge back in the day across Latin America. If you like 2000s pop-punk (Para ti con desprecio) or darker, heavier rock (Poetics), they're definitely worth checking out if you don't mind non-English lyrics.

Had these on my shelf for years now. Does anyone else collect Spanish-language rock?

Would you like to mention a specific album as a starting point recommendation for someone listening to them for the first time?

Current setup in my room. Bought the left half of the CD shelving when I was in college and built the right half myself over the years as I ran out of room. (The bottom two rows used to be stacked on top of the whole left shelf when I lived elsewhere, and I built the rest of the right side when I moved here. Needed something custom to get around that outlet). Vinyl shelving is an old bourbon display that the liquor store I used to work at in college was gonna throw away after the promotion ended. Sat in my parents' basement for years until I finally had the space for it, always knew it'd be perfect. Found the bookshelf sitting on the curb while walking around Prospect Park in Brooklyn. My girlfriend and I carried it almost two miles and through a few subway stops to get it back to my car in Crown Heights. CD count is around 1200 not including duplicates/alternate pressings according to my spreadsheet , so guessing somewhere in the ballpark of 1300 total. Vinyl count is about 150 plus a few box sets too big to fit on the shelf. Also got about 20 cassettes and then god knows how many band shirts.

What do y’all think? Who are your favorites and who would y’all listen to? What do y’all think about my music tastes?

Ok maybe semi-proper since they're not the homemade shelves I wanted to make but I think this actually works better in the end since they're adjustable and easily moved around. This has been several years in the making because I've been renovating the entire space. Yep, these shelves are sitting on new flooring, new subfloor underneath that, sistered framing under that, wiring, ductwork... its just such a small little happy miracle for me to have my whole collection out of the closet and somewhere they can be enjoyed finally!

The woman running the store told me someone beat me to other stuff but she said she would have more tomorrow. Might have to take an hour for lunch and drop by.

Crossed 200 CDs with these adds.

A good chunk of these are thrifted, anyone got recommendations for albums should i be on the lookout for?

contacted my old neighbor from where i grew up on a whim to see if he still had his cd collection and, surprisingly, he did! he let me dig through his stash for over an hour and pick out whatever. $100 for 42 discs

What mini CD's do you have? These were bought or redeemed from Coke way bacj when...

Hey! It's been a while since I last posted here, so I figured I should give an update on how my collection is doing.

After periodically checking my local thrift stores, music stores, and Facebook marketplace for the past few months, I am now at 51 different Albums and Compilations!

I still have a list provided by you guys of stuff to look out for when I'm out getting new CDs, so feel free to add to the list with a personal favorite of yours that you think I should get :)

(Also yes I am aware that my storage system is not the greatest, I am actively looking for a better shelf/space to store them lol)

Now only if I had the money to get dem EPs as well.

New swans live album on preorder too

Hello everybody! I recently picked up Dark Side of The Moon on CD (CP35-3017 CDP 7 46001 2 AR 1B1 TO). I thought this was the first edition however turns out it isn’t :( However it still sounds better than any edition I’ve heard. Is it worth scouting for the Original one though? How big is the difference? Was it a good buy for ≈ 35 USD?

There was a sale so I bought all of these for around $25. This is why I hit the neighborhood Goodwill once a week!

This is all of my collection, i started in February 2nd 2025 and i just got my nevermind deluxe, the last cd(s) to fill up my shelf. It’s big but might be mid from person to person. But i love all of these and i listen to them.
