10 favorite albums of 2015 (+10 bonus songs)
I decided to do a formal 2015 top 10 this year. I simply allowed myself 10 more really good songs on other really good albums (in alphabetical order). Cheers and have a great 2016 year of music! |
| 20 |  | Vessels
Dilate
Song : Elliptic
Another band I always come back to. Lots of electronic with a bunch of post-rock fun. |
| 19 |  | Strung Out
Transmission.Alpha.Delta
Song : Rebellion of the Snakes
The album is not always perfect, but this song is pure dope. Punk-rock |
| 18 |  | The Story So Far
The Story So Far
Song : Nerve
This one was all killer no filler, but with just 10 choices and so much great music, their hardcore pop-punk didn't make the cut. |
| 17 |  | Jeff Rosenstock
We Cool?
Song : Nausea
Really cool album, sing along songs and they put out a great show. His other band Antarctigo Vespucci is another 2015 highlight. Pop punk |
| 16 |  | Marietta
As It Were
Song : Horse Tattoo
I really thing this would make the cut; great emo record full of catchy melody. This song is among my favorite of 2015 period. |
| 15 |  | KEN mode
Success
Song : These Thight Jeans
Big song, gig riffs, big fun, beautiful vinyl packaging. Post-hardcore/noise/loud-ass shit. |
| 14 |  | The Kandinsky Effect
Somnambulist
Song : Trits
Weird jazz/math experimental stuff. Been following them for a while, always good, specially this one. |
| 13 |  | Ghostface Killah
Twelve Reasons to Die II
Song : Let the Record Spin (feat. Raekwon)
The album is even better than the excellent part 1 album. still some filler, but this kicks some ass. Hip Hop |
| 12 |  | C H R I S T
Tower
Song : Sine
HUGE album by the Montreal act, but Sine if just something else. Post-rock |
| 11 |  | Anekdoten
Until All The Ghosts Are Gone
Song : Writing on the Wall
I kept coming back to this album all year long, this song being the main reason why. prog rock |
| 10 |  | Achigan
La société du mépris
Du punk-rock efficace, engagé et accrocheur. Gros retour des gars de Québec. |
| 9 |  | Public Image Ltd
What The World Needs Now
I might get rocks thrown at me, but this is among the best post-sex pistols stuff Lydon's ever done. Post-punk |
| 8 |  | Jean Leloup
À Paradis City
Le Grand retour de Leloup. Pleins de chansons de concession. World rock/folk |
| 7 |  | Speak Low If You Speak Love
Everything But What You Need
Was all over this one at mid-year. Smooth emo. |
| 6 |  | Good Riddance

Don't know if it is their best album, but it's close. Punk-rock |
| 5 |  | Spurv
Skarntyde
Another post-rock gem. |
| 4 |  | Steven Wilson
Hand. Cannot. Erase.
It is always good; hard to rank Steven's record each year but this is one of his best. Prog rock. |
| 3 |  | Turnover
Peripheral Vision
Instant hooks and fun. Pop-Post-punk |
| 2 |  | April Rain

One of my favorite Post-rock record in a couple of years. |
