Some of these records are missing reviews. Reviews will appear on the site in the coming weeks.

Actually, has to be said, pretty damn good list. I will back off from laying into The Darkness as I'm feeling quite bright and sparky this morning. But Zwan so high? Seriously?? Which suggests some kind of consensus that it's a good worthy effort? Dear God.

I take it that there will be slating of the imminent NME Album Poll then. After all, how can you slate anybody else's poll for being 'old' when you put a 1970's rock covers band at Number 2?

I hear Mike Oldfield's still recording...

Re: DiS Staff Top 75 Albums of 2003

I must say that after reading through this list, the shocking predictability, even from DiS writers, is saddening. DiS is a site championing new music, and great music, and yet there's Hell is for Heroes at number, erm, 10? They're like a carbon copy of equally average acts that were knocking about three or four years ago. And then there's Zwan and a whole host of other albums that really aren't worthy of such high acclaim. I can understand that a few people might place them highly, but with so many people voting (I presume; if all the writers under contacts voted) I expected a more balanced and less high-profile chart. Still, nice to see Cat Power so high.

Re: DiS Staff Top 75 Albums of 2003

This is true, as a site we do promote new bands an music but each article is written by an inidividual. It is the same as being with your mates and one says 'I have heard the best album EVER!'... not all of you guy and buy as it may not be to your taste or you just can't afford it. An example in caser is that my album of the year didn't even get into the top 75! Remember, this is based on a general overview, not the definitive opinion of the whole site i.e. the number one album is not everyones favourite...

Re: DiS Staff Top 75 Albums of 2003

My top record didn't make it either.
Maybe we should have a 'close but no cigar' section?

Re: DiS Staff Top 75 Albums of 2003

It's weird, I only voted for about 2 of the top 20 records and I'm pretty sure there are a lot of other people who regularly contribute to the site who had about the same amount of their records of the year near the top.

I did look confusedly at Zwan and Hell is For Heroes and Elbow too for that matter, getting quite so high. Then again, Distillers, Strokes and White Stripes all did oddly well...

We're going to be doing a few other runs downs of the year which should go someway to giving a personal and collective view of the year.

Even tho Cat on Form are great live, the albums really not impressed me. Have played it quite a bit and it just doesn't feel like the same band.

this list saddens me a little
maybe the mechanics weren'y entirely appropriate, seeings as it seems to reward the albums that have been most heard, as opposed to most loved
maybe cutting down the number of votes per person would make it more representative?

Re: DiS Staff Top 75 Albums of 2003

in what way does elbow being up so high confuse you? whatever your position on them as a band the album remains a beautifully crafted, confident and ambitous work. and it is probably my number 1 album of the year without a doubt. which is obviously why i'm kicking up a fuss. but seriously, it's gorgeous. really gorgeous.

DiS Staff Top 75 Albums of 2003

Anyway I voted for Last Train to Mashville as my number 1 so there. Some other ones that never made it in cos it's a consensus poll innit:
The Zephyrs - A Year To The Day (Setanta)
Quante Jubila – Quante Musica (Play)
William E Whitmore – Hymns For The Hopeless (Southern)
Saian Super Crew – X Raisons (Source)
Bitmap – Alpha Beta Gamma (General Electric)
but ain't that what makes music so ace? There's so much out there. If you read this site, and other media, then hopefully you're interested in finding new music that's out there waiting to snog you mercilessly. The DiS chart is only a snapshot of some of those artists and you gotta remember there's around 160 records released every week in the UK. Multiply that by 52, and also take into account all the DIY and Import releases - that's a lot of class out there. The great thing about this sorta stuff is that any chart like this is only a starting point to being led in the direction of stuff personally I didn't know about before innit so I'm up for being enlightened, ain't that what makes anyone get outa bed in the morning (and back into bed at night for more filthy fun)

kudos for having zwan so high- everyone seemed to ignore them after 'honestly' came out, but they were a great, if a little short-lived band. Also, i must agree, where on god's green earth were Kinesis?! and while i'm on the subjuct of noteable ommissions, AFI anyone? Rancid? Evanesc... i'll stop there, i've started too many fights already...

Re: DiS Staff Top 75 Albums of 2003

I have to agree the Darkness may be the most fun album in the list, but there are quiet a lot more musically...intricate albums around, some that didn't even make the list (Tom McRae my personal favourite ain't there), so I can see why Darkness came high...but....well I don't agree. Different strokes for different folks an' all that.

Incidentally, check out www.metacritic and their section on music, and you can find out what the average of all reviews for a fair few albums (reviews from UK and US iirc) and find the top lot an' all that. Led Zeppelin top? Well well well...

I really like the record too (was at the bottom end of my top 20). Am just confused, if you look at the kinda things that get written about on DiS day in day out that the kinda people who voted for elbow don't take part in dis on a day to day basis and the album hasn't even been reviewed on the site...

Re: DiS Staff Top 75 Albums of 2003

We didn't review the Kinesis album as we only got a copy of it the day it came out and didn't get chance to listen to it enough before the review woulda been outta date. Admittedly, any number of contributors coulda picked it up in the shops and written about it, but they didn't and that's nobodies fault.
Don't think the pr people even sent us the last single - tho i might be wrong.
The album isn't as good as the first record they did themselves (with most of the same songs on)

Tomahawk. Bugger.

Also, I know it's not really DiS but I'd have stuck the Mastodon album somewhere near the top. I know it was released last year but it was re-released about a month ago with the obligatory bonus track and a rather excellent live DVD which pisses all over Linkin Park.

As for the rest I think it's great Hell Is For Heroes & Elbow can nestle in the Top 10 alongside Cat Power & Blood Brothers (neither of whom I've heard of).
As for all you indie saddo purists who think DiS has to be some duffel coated vessel championing a bunch of shoegazing losers do me a favour FUCK OFF!
There is more in this life than Jetplane Landing. I want ambition, excess, success, ego, attitude, sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll. THAT'S THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT MORONS!

Cat On Form never really clicked with me. I'm often a little too hasrh about them, but I just don't like 'em. Something annoys me that I can't quite put my finger on, plus I find them remarkably generic. BUT, the first time I ever saw 'em they were good, just haven't impressed the three or four times since.

WHERE THE HELL IS MILLION DEAD??? Blatantly best album of the year. And........SIKTH!!! Where is Sikth?? If you've ever heard that album, you'll know it's a fookin masterpiece!! And Gob!! And Bear vs. Shark!! Radiohead are great, but not the best...Darkness and Funeral For A Friend are good not great..Zwan are painfully average...Thursday, Biffy Clyro, Billy Talent and Jetplane Landing are too low IMHO..and there are great albums that you've probably never heard of such as Sam Roberts - "We Were Born In A Flame" and The Dears - "Lost Cities". Other than that, the list is good but don't agree with the order much. Aereogramme is HORRIBLE. As is Marilyn Manson. As is Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I dislike Elbow and Mogwai, but that's just me. My list to follow shortly........

Re: DiS Staff Top 75 Albums of 2003

Oh, I see. Because I list that I like Turin Brakes and Radiohead, I'm a lesser human being.

The main problem I have with 'hacks' like you is you just lambast other people without provocation and then act in this holier-than-thou sense that, because you work 'within in industry' or whatever you like to call it, your opinions are somehow more valid. They're as valid as everyone else's - music is all about taste, and you can only say what you like. You can't say there's a 'fact' that any album is good or bad, even if it's agreed by popular concensus. Just remember it's all about opinions, friend. Now if you're analysing the music in terms of technicality and skill and actual innovation in music - you're talking about something away from the simple in terms of rhythm, tone, harmony, all that shit. If you've got, say, a music degree, I'll sit back and take all the crap you want to throw at me for not being indier-than-thou. Just because you've seen a lot of gigs and listened to a lot of albums does not make your opinion more valid than practically anyone. It only makes your taste more definite, you know what you like. That's fair enough, but it still doesn't really give you the right to lay into other people that bad and talk about 'facts', especially when it's saying one band are better. The Darkness - fair enough if you like them, but there are no facts that they are better or worse than Radiohead. You like something rocky? Fine, but it doesn't give you any right to say it's better than any other style of music.

You've dug yourself a nice little hole there. Now sit down in it while we fill it in, please.

Re: DiS Staff Top 75 Albums of 2003

christ on a bike!!! I wish you people would just get over these things. This is a list of albums compiled by people who write for this particular website, nothing more. If you look closely you'll see that there are similarities between this list and those of other websites and publications. These lists tend to be for the masses by the (slightly smaller representation of the) masses. People will always disagree, that's what people do. You'll always bet the people who like muse, elbow and turin brakes being slagged off for being uneducated NME types. But you'll also get the indier-than-thou, Careless Talk loving weirdos (ME) who take their fair share of stick too.

PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT. If this website covered things like timberlake and westlife there'd be writers suggesting their albums are the best of the year and then you'd have to spend some more time slagging them off.

Let it go. Go off and listen to your favorite records and forget what everybody else has said. Does it really matter anyway?

Could everyone whose favourite band didn't make it into this list (because, like, duh, YOU didn't help to compile it) stop crying into your milkshakes and get over it? Who cares? It's a list! It's got some albums on there I like, some I dislike, some I've never heard (I suspect most of us can't afford hundreds of albums a year), and yes... it misses off some I'd like to see on there. SO RUDDY WHAT? Go to a news website, see what's going on in the world, find something that it IS justifiable to get genuinely annoyed about. People getting so bothered about a list (yes, a LIST) clearly need to get out more, and by that I don't mean the Rudgleigh Dog & Turnip for local indie night on Fridays...

its true. i disagree with a fair proportion of albums on that list and i voted in the thing. Radiohead getting number 1 doesn't mean we all worship them, it simply means that they were mentioned on more/higher up on peoples lists.

i dont know how you people find the time to chase your own tails with arguements that can clearly never be resolved because it all comes down to your own opinions and tastes. You're never going to agree so... like.. getoverit.

No, Mooseman, no - take a listen to the Sikth album, it's v.v.v.v good (although I can't comment on Sikth live, cuz I've never seen them live). Although Machine Head are not a good band. It's not a case of being "clueless", it's a case of having an opinion that you don't agree with. Aren't opinions a great thing to have?? Furthermore, the Coheed and Cambria album is sheer genius, and the fact that it hasn't been included is just plain criminal. Plus, Million Dead are not THAT similar to Hundred Reasons - for starters, they're lyrically miles apart. And HR's album sounds a tad more polished than Million Dead's - just a TINY bit :-) and damian, no-one's that bothered about albums not being included, it's just having a god-damn opinion. I take it you've never had a debate before then....

Re: DiS Staff Top 75 Albums of 2003

Before anyone shouts "Hey, don't shoot the messenger, this list is the combined opinions of the staff", I'm not arguing, but these are my opinions.

I'm not sure what Biffy Clyro are doing in there, they're nowhere near as good as people make out. As for Funeral for a Friend, unfortunately they've gone the way of the parent-friendly heartfelt emo band who started off raw but unfortunately remixed stuff and never sounded quite as good again. As for BRMC, in my opinion they should not even have a record deal, to quote the title of a song by Instruction, "Death to the four-car garage band".

Jetplane Landing should have been higher as should Thursday, and this list is sorely missing the Copperpot Journals, Lightyear and Forever Until October. Also, if this list is indeed cosmopolitan, I would include Nitin Sawhney - Human as this was one of the most beautiful creations I heard all year.
