Listening to Illinois was always such an experience. After so many years, it's a nostalgic experience. It's like getting to relive the memories of a summer vacation you had as a kid, every emotional high and low. There's really nothing quite like it.
For 2001, apart from The Microphones, Opeth's Blackwater Park should have been mentioned, it blew every one away, not just in the metal world but all genres of music.

It's Pitchfork in the 2000s, they're never going to acknowledge that a prog metal album even exists, never mind it being better than their AOTY. The sole exception is if it's a Mastodon album.
I think fleet Foxes deserved at least A, just because helplessness blues is better doesn't make it less of a great debut. Comparing it to a later album that didn't exist yet is a bit weird in the context of the video imo.

I actually like the more classic, maybe even archaic sort of take on folk that the self-titled Fleet Foxes album had, as compared to Helplessness Blues. That's not to say I like it better, but it's a tough call. And I love them both for very different reasons. Plus, it seems a little unfair to look into the future and judge an AotY on that grounds. lol

Wow man, I haven't thought of The Microphones in a looooong time. That was a fantastic album kind of in the same territory as The Books - The Lemon of Pink. Meanwhile, I just listened to that Rapture album literally yesterday. I agree I don't like it as much as I did as a twacked out teenager but liked it much in the same vain as Chk Chk Chk, Cut Copy, and all the other dancy bands at the time. Interpol over QotSA Songs for the Deaf is ridiculous. Enough on that. I would give Strawberry Jam AOTY long before Person Pitch. I like Panda, but I never understood the insanely high reviews back then. Fleet Foxes debut, I never stop listening to it. I never get tired of their albums or performances. And Merriweather is a no-brainer. Let the normies into the Animal Collective universe. Pretty good takes from the Meloness.

I agree. I hadn't listened to it ever until yesterday and even if the mixing on the vocals was a bit spotty and the lyrics weren't exactly mind blowing, the hugely varied, and grand sonic palette more than made up for in my opinion.

I keep requesting it for a patreon review but it gets ignored even when it got the most upvotes one time ;_;
Man, I can understand where you're coming from with some of your takes. Interpol's album, while having strong songwriting and good productions, is incredibly derivate of its influences. And there's certainly an argument to be made for Funeral not aging well, if only because indie music shifted away from that overproduction in the 2010s and the band themselves releasing some uninspired music in the past decade. Where you've lost me is your opinion on Person Pitch. I adore that album, the repetition, the hypnotic acid-trip effect of it. Different strokes for different folks I guess but the repetitious beats are part of what draws me into its hazy drug-induced atmosphere.

I checked it out and get what they're going for, but the production is just so out there and distracting. I get going for hazy and lots of reverb etc but..... don't get it

I've been watching you since you first started, and being reminded of that Fever Ray pick for 2009 AOTY just brought me back. Fantastic album. I'm so happy that you're still doing this stuff today.
Illinois is one of my all time favorite records of all time. I've been listening to it since I was 14 and it's music has evolved with me and my experiences, and I credit that album to why I am so into experimental and avant-garde music nowadays (well, that and Mr. Bungle as well lol).

I encourage everyone to listen to "Korova Milky Bar" from 2002 by a Polish band Myslovitz. It's a very beautiful and sad alt rock album with immaculate production. Seriously, give it a try as no one outside Poland would probably find it on purpose

Please do this with all the other decades of Pitchfork's AOTYs!!
I agree with the list. I missed The Microphones so going to check that out. Only thing I'd maybe change is swap Kid A and Illinoise. As a major Interpol fan I was also surprised they got AOTY, was a strong year of music.
I don't really have a definitive list for each year between 00-09, but I know that my pick for 2006 is easily Underoath's "Define the Great Line". Absolutely revolutionary post-hardcore/metalcore album. A lot of people prefer the sound of the previous album "They're Only Chasing Safety", but it's a way more basic pop-punk/post-hardcore project, Spencer's harsh vocals aren't nearly as refined, it's less experimental across the board. DtGL is the apex of their career, and a pivotal piece in the history of post-hardcore as a genre like Refused's "The Shape of Punk to Come" imo.

Giving it a listen at the moment and it's pretty damn great! If you loved Shape of Punk To Come then I can't recommend "It's Me God" by Breach, one of the greatest post-hardcore releases ever made. Their swan song Kollapse is absolutely wonderful too and veers right into post-metal

Pitchfork and reviewer Ryan Kearney still owe Cave In and the rest of the world a massage for their mindless treatment of the phenomenal album Jupiter. I wonder if Ryan has been able to enjoy the taste of ice cream ever since writing it.
