Top 5 cds from 2003??

  1. The Gathering - Souvenirs
  2. Molasses - A Slow Messe
  3. Enslaved - Below The Lights
  4. Katatonia - Viva Emptiness
  5. Apocalyptica - Reflections
 
Metallica - St. Anger



















AHAHAHAHA sorry I just had to :D hmm not much going on this year... Katatonia's latest is pretty good. Didn't like the new CoB and Soilwork much though. Souvenirs by The Gathering is pretty nice also... oh and the new Devin Townsend rules.
 
Here's my top five in no order:
Devin Townsend Band - Accelerated Evolution
Chimaira - The Impossibility of Reason
Darkness Remains - Lamia
Soilwork - Figure Number Five
Green Carnation - A Blessing in Disguise
 
1. EXTOL - SYNERGY (LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
2. The Provenance - Still At Arms Length (this was 2003 wasn't it?)
3. Ephel Duath - The Painter's Pallete (likely to move up)
4. Moonsorrow - Kivenkataja
5. Katatonia - Viva Emptiness
 
Evergrey - Recreation Day
Nightingale - Alive Again
Strapping Young Lad - s/t

best live album:

Dissection - Live Legacy

Not a particurlarly good year so far.
 
Die Apokalyptischen Reiter - Have A Nice Trip
Katatonia - Viva Emptiness
Enslaved - Below The Lights
Solefald - In Harmonia Universali
Subway To Sally - Engelskrieger

Honorable mentions: Marduk, Nasum, The Gathering, Cradle of Filth (hehe)

I'm quite undecided on Soilwork's Figure Number Five, because about every second song is worth skipping

And I'm currently trying to understand The Painter's Palette by Ephel Duath...
 
That Ephel Duath lacks a few things that would otherwise make it a work of genius. I don't think the production is up to scratch for starters, and the vocals could definitely be better, particularly the clean ones. The trumpets own however :)
 
All time? If you're referring to albums, some of my favorite albums would be
Devin Townsend - Infinity
Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale
Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle
Vintersorg - Visions from the Spiral Generator
Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape

and a ton of others. hehe. But not the new Helloween album, because it's FUCKING TERRIBLE.
 
Cryptopsy: None So Live
THe Haunted: One Kill WOnder
Impaled: Medical Waste

Those 3 i know i can declare best for this year but morbid angel and type o negative is coming out soon and they never dissapointed me
