INTERNACIONAL Escolhas de Fernando Magalhães, João Bonifácio, Miguel Francisco Cadete, Nuno Ferreira, Nuno Pacheco, Rui Portulez e Vítor Belanciano 1. OUTKAST Speakerboxxx / The Love Below Arista, distri. BMG 1 Sinal dos tempos: alguma da música mais audaciosa de hoje habita com assiduidade os "tops". A música negra, personificada pelo r&b e hip-hop, revelou-se como a maior força do mercado em inúmeros países, com destaque para os EUA. Só no seu país de origem os OutKast venderam mais de 16 milhões de discos. Um número impressionante, principalmente se tivermos em atenção que Andre 3000 e Big Boi optaram, ao quinto registo, por um invulgar álbum duplo composto por dois discos a solo. Mas o conteúdo é ainda mais bizarro e apaixonante. "Speakerboxxx" é fraseados rap, configurações rítmicas electrónicas, climas luxuriantes, psicadelismo. É hip-hop tecnológico. "The Love Below" é romance, batidas sincopadas, ambientes sensuais, soul cósmica, descontruções ...

It always seems to take a new decade a few years to decide what it wants to be. 2003 was the first year that felt like a fully formed part of the 00's. For the first time, we completely ignored any and everything affiliated with the 1990s, instead embracing 80s excess, while music, finally, seemed ready to look forward. Few previously established bands delivered on the promise of their previous records; instead, an entirely new crop of songwriters and artists burrowed out the woodwork, laying the foundation for the decade as it will be remembered when we leave it six years from now. Which had an interesting effect on our staff: for the first time since Pitchfork's inception, none of us had any clue as to what might take our the list's top spot. Frankly, we're pretty psyched about the results: this has to be our most diverse year-end list to date, and many of the albums we felt deserved more attention than we were able to dedicate to them during the year get their due.
