Kill Me Tomorrow's caustic dance-punk is at first damaging and inebriating. But there is a remarkably catchy core to the songwriting beneath the spaz-out, drilling assaults. The best description for the band's sound might be "noir wave" -- a combination of new wave pop and the dark goth rock of groups like Bauhaus and Joy Division.
Holy **** I need to check these guys out

However that said, we need to think of what defined the past decade and I think the sole defining aspect of the '00's was the change in the distribution of music, so maybe Yankee Hotel deserves the nod.
True and hell if Summerteeth had been released a year later, I would be crowning Wilco as one of the best of the 2000s

Then again I'm on the fence as to if this new form of distribution is a good thing or not
