I think that might be a bit unfair - he's almost semi-pro, isn't he? From
what I've heard, he's supposedly writing a couple tunes for an upcoming
LaBrie album.
I hope that wasn't supposed to be a secret.

OK I'll give it a go:
1. A.C.T - Last epic
Man, do I love their very special style. Great songs but also with very
innovative stuff going on. This is THE album of 2003 imho.
2. Dream Theater - Train of thoughts
No explanation needed. I just think that A.C.T's album is better :-/
3. Kamelot - Epica
Power metal isn't a genre I like that much otherwise, but Kamelot has
something extra. Probably Roy Khan on the vocals and better songs, I guess.
4. O.S.I. - Office of strategic influence
Kevin Moore and Jim Matheos - sooooo damn good atmosphere on this album
(similar to Fates Warning's APSoG).
5. Arena - Contagion
Was blown away when I saw Arena live in Stockholm in beginning of December.
Contagion is definitely one of Arena's top albums.
6. Dreamtide - Dreams for the daring
Excellent melodic rock. Can't put my finger on exactly why I like it so
much. Sort of 'going for the goal' attitude, positive and energetic.
7. Astral Doors - Of the son and the father
Growing up listening to Rainbow, Dio and Deep Purple this really recalls
great memories. Definitely best hard rock album for 2003.
8. Frameshift - Unweaving the rainbow
Hasn't grown onto me fully yet, but still it is worth being placed into the
top 10 of 2003. LaBrie sounds excellent on this album.
9. Masterplan - St
This album would do nothing for me without Jorn Lande on vocals. Hmmm, this
is also power metal which I said I don't particularly like... strange. But
it rocks. Alot.
10. Derek Sherinian - Black utopia
Derek seems to have found his place nowadays. This is what he was destined
to do.
There ya go, 2003 was a very good year when it comes to releases. I probably
forgot some albums, and my opinion will probably change over time.
