I'd like to say The Books but I haven't heard it yet. I didn't like the new Foo's album...waaay to much production, really crushed the songs with midrange and compression. The new RHCP CD was a bit disappointing (as would be the case after Californication).
 
Ya i really hate that super compressed guitar sound on the chorus of all my life, its a decent album though

I have to one to my list
Chevelle -Wonder whats next
It really rocks balls, and not in a mall-core kinda way either.

2002 was a year of shit!

The only thing that I bought that was newly released in 2002 is

Enuff Z Nuff (Welcome To Blue Island) Released in Japan.

This is the only good "NEW" music I have heard in 2002.


Well, I liked Korn (Untouchables) but I don't know if that was realeased 2002 or late 2001?
 
buck 65 - wierdo magnet is king.
I'm not to concerned with too much comercial stuff. MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC!!! The turd theory reins supreme. Good music is even good if its recorded with headphones.
 
Audioslave - Audioslave (I love the music, I hate the production. Rick Rubin produced it, and he did as bad of a job on this as on the last Chili Peppers record).

Peter Gabriel - UP (Great songs, and an amazing mix by Tchad Blake).

The new Foo Fighters is good, but it is not even close to "The Color and the Shape."

Queens of the Stone Age is good, but the groove is a little flat and the sound is WAY too squashed. Good songs though.

Tom Waits - Alice, and the other one, I don't remember the name. I mean, it's Tom Waits. What's not to like.

F**k!!!!!!!

I forgot Joan Osborn - How Sweet it is. KILLER record. She was in that documentary about the Funk Brothers (the rhythm section at Motown), and had so much fun singing those old soul songs that she did an album of (mostly) soul covers. Otis, Aretha, all sorts of shit. It also has a cover of the Band's "The Weight," a cover of "War," and probably the best Jimi Hendrix cover I have ever heard, "Axis: Bold as Love."

Buy this record. It was THE best record I bought last year, with the possible exception of Peter Gabriel's UP.

How the HELL did I forget that record.

By the way, Joan Osborn is one of the best singers around. If you are not familiar with her, do yourself a favor and become so.

I must be losing it.

I'll go with Peter Gabriel's Up. After the disappointing Us album I thought it was over from him but he came through.
