Pitchfork chose Rapture as album of 2003? You?

So Pitchfork chose The Raputre's "Echoes" as their album of the year. I just bought it and I think it's ok, but definetly not album of the year. My top 3 are: Four Tet "Rounds," Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Fever to Tell," and a toss-up between Prefuse 73 "One Word Extinguisher" and Broken Social Scene "You Forgot it in People." I would probably go with Prefuse. I thought the Outkast album was a bit over-rated. The Big Boi album is better than the Andre 3000 album. Andre's is a little too P-funk and cartoonish at parts for my taste although it has some great moments (I liked 'Hey Ya' until I heard it a 1000 times). Big Boi is more innovative while sticking to his hip-hop guns (no pun intended). So what was the real album of the year? What do you think of the Rapture?

Umm, yeah, as if it needed saying, that's obviously not the Prefuse 73 album.

As for the REAL album of the year, I bet it's this (note: please wait 12 hours for link to work).

I saw Prefuse, Four Tet, and Beans in Vancouver and I met Four Tet and Beans. Beans has big, soft, black hands. Very sexy.

May I be the first to say I disagree, and that I condemn the people who voted for this Pazz & Jop garbage.

He's new here. Teach him about ILM.

My subjective album of 2003 was The Dears' No Cities Left. Purely on a personal resonance level.

Pazz & Jop is a poll run by Village Voice, in which music critics vote for the best album of the year.
