Just cutting and pasting , since most of you clowns did care the first time
1. Mars Volta, The - "de-loused in the Comatorium". Dynamically charged tale of a man's coma before his suicide.
2. Dead Soul Tribe - "A Murder of Crows". Devon builds his DST concept much better than the first album, and even hints back to his PW roots.
3. Ohm - s/t. Jazz fusion trio fronted by early Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland.
4. Alchemist - "Austral Alien". Oz "dreamtime" metallers (my words) continuing to grow further.
5. Moonsorrow - "Kivenkentaja (Stonebearer)". Making Spinefarm not a joke label.
6. King Crimson - "The Power to Believe". Fripp and Adrien keep the wheels grinding their own way, and I mean GRINDING.
7. Provenance, The - "Still At Arms Length". I liked "25th Hour; Bleeding" a lot when it came out, glad to see they'll be a band to keep watching.
8. Hammers of Misfortune - "August Engine, The" Power Metal the way it should be.
9. Negura Bunget - "n' cregu Bradalui". Black Metal underdog of 2003, despite our website's full year plug.
10. Queensryche - "Tribe". enjoyment of this album really depends on the day I try it out. Some songs are brilliant, some are blander than toothpaste, but it's overall an improvement from Q2Geigh, their only true abomination.
