Top 2003 Contenders - What have you got thus far?

[JayKeeley]

The new Falkenbach is beautiful, but I don't like the black digipak 'special edition'. I actually think the artwork of the actual album looks stunning and much better than just the logo on it's own on a black digipak.

I wish I had got this version:

Is there anything special about the Digi other than a different cover?

 

[JayKeeley]

Same number of tracks if that's what you mean. However, the digipak does contain the inlay booklet with the artwork on an inside pocket if that's a compromise for you. I just think the artwork is so nice, why hide it?

 

[Black Winter Day]

i think my list just got overhauled bigtime due to some recent revelations... final product will have to wait until year's end!

This is my selection (in no order) for 2003

1. Nightfall - I am Jesus
2. Amon Amarth - Versus the World
3. Evergrey - Recreation Day
4. Iron Maiden - Dance of Death
5. Watch Them Die - Watch Them Die
6. Arch Enemy - Anthems of Rebellion
7. Star One - Live on Earth
8. Lacuna Coil - Comalies
9. Cradle of Filth - Damnation and a Day
10. The Darkness - Permission to Land

This could all change.

Lacuna Coil doesn't qualify as 2002.,

 

[ChiefB]

Amon Amarth - Technically, that's a 2002 release depending on how you look at release dates.

Lacuna Coil doesn't qualify as 2002.,

Yes yes, the new Nokturnal Mortum is a must-have.

Do you have it then? I have found some songs via P2P (which are absoletely amazing) but i couldn't find any mailorder that carries the damn thing.

I'll refrain from writing a 2003 Top-Ten list until the end of the year, because there's a lot of good stuff i haven't heard yet (for example the new Skepticism) but I can assure you: The new Falkenbach will definitely take a top 3 spot. this is some of the most beautiful and moving music I have ever heard... simply... not of this world.

shakermaker: "this is some of the most beautiful and moving music I have ever heard... simply... not of this world."

even more than slooshying the old ludwig van?

 

[Shakermaker]

Slooshying Falkenbach makes me wanna kill christians, whereas slooshying Ludwig Van makes me wanna rape christian wenches. So there's a malenky difference

Classic movie...

No, sorry - I meant that it's a "must have" as in it's a "must hunt down and buy as soon as possible". It is out somehow though because people are already throwing it into their top 10's, but I bet that's just people assuming it's going to be good, and pretending that they own it already, so it becomes a safe bet.

Yes, indeed it is stunning. BUT, I'm just a little concerned that it may not have that same lasting appeal as the other two. Whereas the first album explores several dimensions, the latest one seems to fall into a 'comfort zone'.

Again, it's brilliant stuff, but I bet in one years time, I'll be pulling out the other albums before this one. Perhaps. Although the three of them together would work quite brilliantly now as a trilogy of sorts.

 

[Black Winter Day]

maybe i can find some stuff on kazaa lite (shhhhh!)

it's not like i won't be buying it anyway!

 

[Black Winter Day]

DAMN this stuff is gooooood!

 

[JayKeeley]

Are you talking about Falkenbach or Nokturnal Mortum?
