Favorite albums of 2015?

Sharp · 12-30-2015, 11:55 PM

I'm gonna listen to at least two from each person tbh. Thought this was a good year for music

My favorite was Dan Mangan + Blacksmith - Club Meds. More of an Alternative rock thing but it actually qualifies as 'alternative' while still being enjoyable

(if you just want a sample)

The Internet - Ego Death (R&B/neo-soul)

Christian Scott - Stretch Music

Also To Pimp a Butterfly and Sour Soul

Hiatus Kaiyote gets an honorable mention

What were your albums of the year?

You've sold out, man.

I pre-ordered Sleater-Kinney's album on Amazon. I have been in on them. I recall that comment being about Savages.

PancakeBrah · 12-31-2015, 01:45 AM

I remember the Savages comment. You said something about Sleater Kinney as well. But what's the point in arguing? There is no point in arguing about this. I noticed you don't have Divers on your list.

That's weird.

I feel like this got less credit than it deserved, I really dug it.

But tbh I didn't listen to a whole lot of new music this past year.

Greed · 12-31-2015, 03:47 AM

I already fought for documentary 2 + 2.5 in the last thread. Still stand by it.

Greed · 12-31-2015, 04:02 AM

Trapsoul the other album of the year

I just hated how many guest appearances there were. It's hard for me to put an album featuring J. Cole in my top 10.

Ghost1 · 12-31-2015, 10:53 AM

Lol listening to Cole now. Wats wrong w j cole?

Greed · 12-31-2015, 11:44 AM

I listened to barter 6 cause of this thread. Listened to 4 songs at random and they were dope.

Im gonna listen to freddie gibbs shit now based on bags using 'shew' while describing it. Bbl.

uh-oh · 12-31-2015, 11:53 AM

Grandeur and lucky 7

Both were 6/10 at best.

plenty of stuff I'll listen to here

I even liked Surf but there's no way it should be in someone's top 20. Loved like a third of the tracks tho

Schadenfreude · 01-03-2016, 03:35 PM

9. A$AP Rocky – At.Long.Last.A$AP
8. Joey Badass – B4.Da.$$
7. Scarface - Deeply Rooted
6. Vince Staples – Summertime 06
5. Big K.R.I.T. – It’s Better This Way
4. The Game – The Documentary 2/2.5
3. Pusha T – Darkest Bebore Dawn

1B. Kendrick Lamar – To Pimp A Butterfly
1A. Lupe Fiasco - Tetsuo & Youth

Certain · 01-03-2016, 04:52 PM

Lupe Fiasco is for people who listen to J. Cole. And vice versa. Don't be one of those people.

I've seen a few lists from people whose music opinion I respect (note: only like three people here qualify) with Surf in the top five. It's dropped out of my top 20 since I posted that list, though, replaced by Wolf Alice's My Love Is Cool.

Also, Trapsoul is imitation garbage. Listen to The Internet's Ego Death (which was close to my top 20) if that's the type of music you want.

PancakeBrah · 01-03-2016, 06:49 PM

Downloaded that Jaime xx album based off your list and some other year ends. Not usually one for the beep boops but it's pretty good. 2-3 really great songs and the rest listenable to good.
