I've been buying CDs since the early 90s.
A lot of my CDs are still in the wrapper, shyt it was only last week I stumbled across my strong arm steady arms and hammers album from like 2 years ago unopened.
I don't just blind purchase many people's albums anymore though, not like I use to. Only nas probably I will purchase regardless....maybe a few other cats.
I've slowed down a lot purchasing over the years though, I prob average about 10 a year depending on the artist / quality of music.
This year I've purchased:
12 reasons to die
Albert Einstein
360 waves
Born sinner
3chordfold
My name is my name
A place called Loveland
I really want to support PWOWR but soul temple are fukkery
Would have purchased nip hussles mix tape if it wasn't $100
All them years when I used to get charged £20 for imports are long gone though. Back in the day they ripped the shyt out of us
