Not sure if this is a good deal but a couple of albums very cheap from the Windows store. I was looking for some Halloween music and some of these fit the bill, so for 31p I thought bargain.
Albums are as follows:
Dystopia – Megadeth - £0.31
Hail To The King: Deathbat (Original Video Game Soundtrack) - Avenged Sevenfold - £2.99
Halloween Motion Picture Soundtrack - John Carpenter - £5.99
Poltergeist: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack -MGM Studio Orchestra - £5.99
Reign In Blood - Slayer - £0.31
The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser - Rob Zombie - £0.31
The Exorcist - Various Artists - £4.99
.5: The Gray Chapter (Special Edition) – Slipknot - £6.99
The Omen - Jerry Goldsmith - £0.31
The Pale Emperor - Marilyn Manson - £0.31
I have never bought from the Microsoft store before so apologies if I am missing something but I hope this is useful for some people.

Great Rob Zombie album, short but sweet. Think the titles are longer than some tracks!

Downlaod to pc then its your to transfer to whatever you like. If you have win10 its easy but if like me you have Win 7 for some reason it takes a lot of attempts to download over some days.

Ive bought 2 £1 albums in the past 6 months. Finally managed to download them after about 3 days of constant returning attempts.
There is the M/S Groove app on android but Ive never tried to see if that works as I prefer to download to PC.

3 days? That's crazy, I wonder if it's a server issue. I'll report back as soon as I manage to download them!

Downloaded with groove on Android and then uninstalled. Files are in xbox music folder and can be played without groove.

Just tried it on my android but its only recognised by the Groove app so no good for me.

I've managed to download the Rob Zombie album, I used internet explorer in the end. It took forever, I'm now trying to download the other 3 I bought. It seems it will work though so persevere!

Hi, never tried ms store. What's the bitrate and quality like? Audiophile friendly? Or choppy mp3?

Great find thanks, bought 3 albums all downloaded quickly for me through Chrome (Just click the DOWNLOAD NOW link once you've purchased an album, took about 30 seconds for the download to start, but then downloaded within 2 mins). Quality seems good, 320Kbps CBR.

Heat added! I never got around to actually buying the rather good Marilyn Manson album, so I'll give Mazza some spare change for that. Killing Strangers was featured prominently in the movie John Wick. Deep Six was the best performing Marilyn Manson single for a long time.
The Slayer album is worth it for Raining Blood (track 10) at least. And that Rob Zombie is worth a punt at less-than-a-pack-of-crisps money.
The best is .5: The Gray Chapter. It's a beautiful monster of an album. If it were a bit cheaper or if I didn't already have the normal edition from elsewhere, I'd have grabbed that. Might buy Override and Burden (the "special edition" tracks) on their own.

Don't forget Angel of Death, that slow down rif in the middle is a classic..

Slayer - Reign in Blood is an absolute Metal classic.

I used to like metal and went to listen to some of these albums thinking id find something i liked for a stupid price. Man, black metal is so completely cringey and not in a good self mocking way, its just straight up pointless. I don't understand how anyone could enjoy these goofballs singing songs about the devil and doing things that are so unrealistic and out of character it renders the whole thing pointless.

I don't think any of the albums in this deal are black metal.

Depends on the band I'd say. I'd highly recommend at minimum giving In The Nightside Eclipse by Emperor a listen before you make up your mind for certain, still one of my favourite albums of all time and I'm not a huge fan of extreme metal.
Awesome deal, 3 albums for under £1 which is fantastic and there's no excuse for anyone not owning Reign In Blood now.

It's all metal except for the movie soundtracks, Not for me.

Anyone else having problems downloading any of these purchased albums via the Groove App onto an iPhone? All I seem to get is a '!Download Error' on 3 of the 4 I've bought .... Contacted MS and they seem to think its an issue with the latest version of the app on Apple devices. :disappointed: Attempted numerous times and now I can't even DL to my computer as I've 'exceeded' the amount of requests lol..unbelievable! Still heat added for the price and for those who can actually dl them after buying them :confused:

Marilyn Manson?
He was great in SOA, very decent actor.
Unlike me.
