But, in that particular store you can listen to the CDs before you buy them, if you wish.
That's saved me a lot of money too.

i got some duds too

now i usually listen to the music first, by getting illegal mp3 on the internet, and then turn it less illegal by buying the original cds that i like.
but this, specifically, you should try to ear first. his vocals are quite shocking. even for someone used to heavy metal. i once showed it to a friend just to provoke her, and succeeded

she reacted like “what the hell is this???” almost got beaten
PS: my s*ny dvd player is broken. stopped reading cds and cd-rw. spent more than 200 euros to be able to read all sorts of formats, and now… back to my old discman.
