Best of 2015 - Post Your Favorite Albums (previously a mid-year review)


Recommended Posts

I can't even think of the albums that came out this year that I've listened to...

In the order I think of them:

Foxing - Dealer

Deafheaven - New Bermuda

BTBAM - Coma Ecliptic

FKA Twigs - M3L155X

Cattle Decapitation - The Anthropocene Extinction

Kamasi Washington - The Epic

milo - So The Flies Don't Come

Native Construct - Quiet World

Bosse-de-Nage - All Fours

Ceschi - Broken Bone Ballads

Potentials/honorable mentions are:

Czarface - Every Hero Needs A Villain

Mgła - Exercises in Futility

Messes - Don't Be A Let Down

Intronauts - The Direction of Last Things

Artists who, if release an album this year, could make it on the list:

Touché Amoré

Thank You Scientist

Adult Jazz

That's all I can think of for now.

Haven't checked TBDM but yeah I can't imagine anything groundbreaking from them at this point.

If you liked Monolith of Inhumanity, The Anthropocene Extinction is an improvement. The production isn't as flawless, making their performances more raw-sounding. Travis Ryan still fucking owns. Song structure still stands out. Just a step above Monolith in most fronts imo.

advance base-nephew in the wild was, in my opinion the best album of 2015 by a pretty wide margin. i also really liked:

 

viet cong-s/t

summering-s/t

KENmode-success

elvis depressedly-new alhambra

 

i wanted so badly to like that deafheaven album, but it just sounded like sunbather bsides and was kind of boring.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Previous List:

Good Riddance - Peace in Our Time
Millencolin - True Brew
Screaming Females - Rose Mountain
Strung Out - Transmission.Alpha.Delta
Tenement - Predatory Highlights

Sleater Kinney - No Cities to Love

 

Add these:

Built to Spill - Untethered Moon

And So I Watch You From Afar - Heirs

Envy - Atheist's Cornea

Modest Mouse - Strangers to Ourselves
Ceremony - The L-Shaped Man

Night Birds - Mutiny at Muscle Beach

I still need to get around to the new Between the Buried and Me, Waxahatchee, Maritime, Hop Along and Radioactivity albums. I have been pretty bad at keeping up this year. I am also hoping Crusades will put out a new one before the end of the year.
