I AM GOING TO REVISE MY THREE PREVIOUS LISTS. THANK YOU J2112YYZ FOR THE WIKIPEDIA TIP!

 

2003 was a ridiculously amazing year of music for me. Two of my top five albums here make their place due to the impact they had on my listening experiences that year (Beyonce and Evanescence). All these years later, I still love those two albums. Thrice and Sonata Arctica were VERY close. But so were many others.

 

2003 stands out for the brilliance that was AFI releasing a punk album awash with goth influence that managed to sound like nothing else, as well as the brilliant return to form from Machine Head (though the album was buried by subsequent releases). The Juliana Theory released their major label debut only to sink without a trace (the world's loss), and HIM released what I thought would be my album of the year (I didn't realise AFI and Juliana were 2003 releases).

 

1. AFI- Sing The Sorrow

2. HIM- Love Metal

3. The Juliana Theory- Love

4. Beyonce- Dangerously In Love

5. Evanescence- Fallen

 

The Gathering- Souviners

Linkin Park- Meteora

Sonata Arctica- Winterheart's Guild

Brand New- Deja Entendu

Thrice- The Artist In The Ambulance

Death Cab For Cutie- Transatlanticism

Machine Head- Through The Ashes Of Empires

Dream Theater- Train Of Thought

To clarify, I don't believe a live album or a greatest hits package should qualify for these types of lists so:

 

I wrestled with that, because there have been some excellent packages released. It's a good limitation for lists of this kind, I think.

I just think "best album of 2002" should mean music that was released in 2002. Not music released between 1970 and 1998, or something recorded live in 1983. JMO.

In no particular order:

 

1: Dance of Death -- Iron Maiden Paschendale is their best song from this century.

2: Decoration Day -- Drive By Truckers Decoration Day is enough by itself.

3: Austral Alien -- Alchemist Excellence

4: Collideoscope -- Living Colour The first half of this one is my favorite half of any Living Colour album.

5: Streetcore -- Joe Strummer I still miss Joe.
