Not only do I agree with you, but Rich Egan, owner of Vagrant Records, feels the same way. Honestly, I never knew DCFC could be so damn good.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Yay, you should be.

Oh yeah, I definitely think Transatlanticism is my favorite album of 2003 but I forgot to mention War All The Time as runner up

"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know

I suppose I'm the only one, but I easily nominate Room On Fire by The Strokes. Drums and bass, two guitars, and a voice, all perfectly tuned and bouncing off one another at a speed that'll make your head spin.

Otherwise, The Pillows had an incredibly amazing release in November with Penalty Life. If you've seen the anime show FLCL (source of my avatar, Ninamori, who's the source of my sig) on Adult Swim, then you know the band's logo -- it's on Haruko's Vespa, that circled P! right on front. And, oh yeah, they are the entire backing soundtrack to the six-episode series. Penalty Life doesn't have anything you heard on FLCL -- most obviously because the show was aired in 2000. But stuff like "Terminal Heaven's Rock", "I Know You", and "Super Trampoline School Kid" are major stickouts on a solid album from these guys -- imagine the Pixies gone Japanese, with a mega-guitar fetish, and you've got the basic sound of The Pillows.

Otherwise, everything else is kind of relegated to the background. Although I'd nominate Jay-Z's The Black Album for Hip-Hop Album of The Year.
