The best albums of 2002 so far?

Well this year has been pretty decent for me, a lot better than last year anyway....

MESHUGGAH-"Nothing"
Immortal-"Sons"
Ephel duath-"Rephormula"(amazing stuff!)
Suidakra-"Emprise"
Arcturus-"Sham mirrors"
Arch enemy-"Wages of sin"
Uphill battle-s/t
Fantomas/melvins-"Millenium monsterwork"
Origin-"informas, infinatas, inhumanitas"
Internecine-"The book of lambs"
Gorerotted-"mutilated in minutes"
Fuck...im dead-"Bring on the dead"
Shining III-"Angst"

Also really lookin forward to the new Cephalic Carnage, from waht ive read its goin to be a real mindfuck!!!
 
So far in 2002 I have bought 62 items (CDs, vinyls, demo tapes) but only 8 of them are 2002 releases!!!
My best are:
Arcturus - The sham mirrors
Green Carnation - Light of day, day of darkness (it appeared in 2002 in Greece)
Primordial - Storm before calm
Sonichaos Aeon - Symposium Lex O' Tanil (demo)
Winds - Reflections of the I

But still I'm waiting for new albums from: MonumentuM, Virus, Ulver (the "nattens" remake) and the live of In the woods...

Rhapsody - Power Of The Dragonflame

bleh how could this album make it? All thier stuff sounds the same. I mean exactly the same. Maybe I am just burnt out on symphonic fantasy power metal....all I knows is the ballads are killing me. Delete ballads, delete ballads....muuussssttt delete ballads.
 
for me:

Down - II
Dead Boy and the Elephantmen - If this is hell then I'm lucky.
Bolt Thrower - Honour Valour Pride


future may hold : Gordian Knot - GK2 , Nile In Their Darkened Shrines , and hopefully TapeWorm Project.
