Self-explanatory. Which albums released this year did you enjoy (or HATE)?

My personal favourites (in no particular order):


Overall, I'd say it was a pretty good year for music.

Never been a fan, but thought his collab with Skrillex and Diplo was pretty fire. The music video was pretty dandy too.

My list would look something like:

Julia Holter - Have You In My Wilderness
Young Thug - Barter 6/SS2
Vince Staples - Summertime '06
Kendrick with TPAB (though the thinkpieces about it really dulled my ability to listen to it for the time being, it was still bumping prior)
Arca - Mutant


besides that I liked albums by Mick Jenkins, Milo, Earl, Destroyer, Father, Slug Christ, probably others I'm forgetting.

yeah i may check it out again. the wordplay and imagery on mural is insane, i was disappointed most of my friends weren't too into it... easily some of the best songwriting this year. reminded me of peak carter 2 wayne on the mobb when he would just rap without stopping, no hook or chorus, perfect flow and diction

Damn good year for music was 2015 with many bands returning to form, others continuing excel and new bands landing with a punch. My top 10 in order is:

1. Marilyn Manson - The Pale Emperor
2. LINDEMANN - Skills in Pills
3. Crossfaith - Xeno
4. FLESH JUICER - GIGO
5. Slayer - Repentless
6. Iron Maiden - Book of Souls
7. Sigh - Graveward
8. Lamb of God - VII: Sturm und Drang
9. the GazettE - DOGMA
10. GARNiDELiA - Linkage Ring

For EPs my top 5 is:

1. sukekiyo - VITIUM
2. MUCC - T.R.E.N.D.Y. -Paradise from 1997-
3. The Teenage Kissers - Lightning Machine
4. Madeline - Madeline
5. MAN WITH A MISSION x Zebrahead - Out of Control

Only album I didn't like this year was The Others by MIYAVI, so dull and forgettable. Very good at picking music I'm likely to, well, like. Any others albums I did not like were not released this year.

Hollywood Undead's album is the best. It's so varied and almost genreless. They keep outdoing themselves. I thought they'll just be a simple Rap-Rock band.

Periphery's "22 Faces" is the best song. It's perfect. Every part connects to the other. It climax and concludes. It's catchy as hell.

Some of my favorite albums of 2015 were...

Father John Misty: I Love You, Honey Bear
Sufjan Stevens: Carrie and Lowell
Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams
Kendrick Lamar: To Pimp A Butterfly

Can't really think of any albums that I hated from this year, although I tried listening to the new Miley Cyrus album and thought it was crap. Also, the newest Kid Cudi album wasn't so good either.
