2003 was not a year of rock.
It just seemed to usher in a whole lot of suck.

I love Marquee Moon, and hold it in the highest regard, but i just can't stand Adventure. I almost hate it. I have no idea why. Perhaps I unfairly compare it to MM. Maybe I'm just dumb. Man, to have been born 10 years earlier and seen them live. I caught the 90s reunion, but meh...

Hmm, only 2003 releases I've got (and they might even be late 2002...been a while since I've gone on a music buying binge)

System of a Down - Steal This Album!
They Might Be Giants - Dial-a-Song

A few of my friends hate adventure as well. I did for a long time too, but my Dad actually convinced me to give it another try. It's better than I remembered, but yeah, not even remotely as good as Marquee Moon.

I wish I got a chance to see them live too. Being born in 82 though, made that kinda rough heh.

my list is a little heavy but here it is
(in no particular order)

lamb of god - as the palaces burn
nothingface - skeletons
mastodon - remission
hatebreed - rise of brutality
superjoint ritual - a lethal dose of american hatred
skitzo - hellavator musik
bleeding through - this is love, this is murderous
mushroomhead - xiii
mortician - darkest day of horror
agoraphobic nosebleed - frozen corpse stuffed with dope
alabama thunderpussy - staring at the divine

Here's all the 2003 cds I have/had and have listened to, ranked. Not a huge list.

1. The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
2. Stew - Something Deeper Than These Changes
3. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Hearts of Oak
4. Cursive - The Ugly Organ
5. Lake Trout - Another One Lost
6. Muse - Absolution
7. A People's History Of The Dismemberment Plan
53. Finger Eleven - Finger Eleven
54. Evanescence - Fallen
55. Hoobastank - The Reason

Then throw Hail To The Thief in there, somewhere between 7 and 53. Never did purchase it, but I listened to it several times in mp3 form...which probably lowers the credibility of my opinion a bit.
