LOUIS MILLER'S BEST OF 2003
| Best New Releases: | | 1 |  | Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs - Fever to Tell [Interscope]
It turns out the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are actually more than just NYC fashionistas! There are some down moments, but when Karen O hits it ("Maps," "Y Control") the whole band shines.
Buy This Album | | 2 |  | Jay Z. - The Black Album [Def Jam]
C'mon, baby. Don't go. We're so good together!
Buy This Album | | 3 |  | Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium [Universal]
It's the indie-rock lovechild of Geddy Lee and Carlos Santana. Insane.
Buy This Album | | 4 |  | Lifesavas - Spirit in Stone [Quannum]
Hands down, the best underground hip-hop record of the last two years. These guys can be both smart and hilarious, and the production is hot.
Buy This Album | | 5 |  | Ms. Dynamite - A Little Deeper [Interscope]
This record should've been huge.
Buy This Album | | 6 |  | Aesop Rock - Bazooka Tooth [Definitive Jux]
"Ebony in the lungpiece"? "Dropping quarters into an A&R Zoltar"? Whatever you say, Aesop. You still rock.
Buy This Album | | 7 |  | Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below [Le Face]
"What's cooler than being cool? ICE COLD!" Honestly, if you didn't love Andre's disc just for "Hey Ya," Big Boi was there polish it off.
Buy This Album | | 8 |  | Mando Diao - Bring 'Em In [Mute U.S.]
Just face it: Sweden's version of the Strokes is just better than ours.
Buy This Album | | 9 |  | The Strokes - Room on Fire [RCA]
...but our version isn't that bad either.
Buy This Album | | 10 |  | Denali - The Instinct [Jade Tree]
More straightforward and upbeat than their debut, Denali lives up to their potential. Plus, Maura Davis's vocals are just unbelievable.
