cursive - the ugly organ
death cab for cutie - transatlanticism
the weakerthans - reconstruction site
the postal service - give up
slow reader - (self titled)
the shins - chutes too narrow
motion city soundtrack - i am the movie

disappointments:
thursday - war all the time
alkaline trio - good mourning
rancid - whatever it was called.
less than jake - anthem
fountains of wayne - welcome interstate managers (i love the first half, but... then... eh)

Muse - Absolution
Starsailor - Silence is Here
Blur - Think Tank
Damein Rice - O

Radiohead - Hail to the thief

the distillers - coral fang
darkness - permission to land

rob zombie - past, present and future (ok i know its old stuff but im obsessed ok!)

the only album i own that was put out in 2003:

Arrington De Dionysio and the Old Time Relijun - Varieties of Religious Experience


it will change your life.

hail to the thief
O
transatlanticism
sumday
up the bracket

Born Dead Icons- Ruins. fucking Lemmy-core!!! this band pulls no punches lyrically or musically.

i can't pick just one so how about a few:

Thrice - The Artist In The Ambulance
Thursday - War All The Time
Yellowcard - Ocean View
Blink 182 - Self Titled

oo. sumday. forgot that one, add it up.

(that was an un-intentional pun)

Funeral For A Friend - Casually Dressed And Deep In Conversation
Thrice - The Artist In The Ambulance
The Mars Volta - Deloused In The Comatorium
Thursday - War All The Time
The Darkness - Permission To Land (Come on, you love it!)

A good album, but not life changing.

No one mentioned HOLLY GOLIGHTLY or THE DIRTBOMBS. Two great records. Coldpaly is useless, figure it out allready.

A-Frames “2”
Buzzcocks “Buzzcocks (The Pink Album)”
JR Ewing “Ride Paranoia”
The Rapture “Echoes”
Yeah Yeah Yeahs “Fever to Tell”
Ikara Colt “Chat and Business”
White Stripes “Elephant”
Ted Leo/Pharmacists “Hearts of Oak”
Glass Candy and the Shattered Theatre “Love Love Love EP”
Turbonegro “Scandanavian Leather”

Special mention to the !!! single/ep, “Me and Giuliani Down By the Schoolyard”

And if the Liars LP wasnt sequestered at Mute, that would have been on here too.
