I'd give it 4.5-5*, but it's been such a good year that I'm not sure if it will make its way into my top ten.

Kamasi Washington - The Epic (2015) This guy's presence on Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly was the best thing about that album, and this solo outing is an amazing retrospective of sorts of 70's fusion and related styles. Will definitely be in my top tier for the year's end roundup. The Alan Parsons Project - Gaudi (1987) The thing that separates The Alan Parsons Project from so many other "classic" artists was Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson's insane level of professionalism from album to album regardless of the musicians involved or album concept: even their most commercial stuff has a classiness about it that's only rivaled by Steely Dan. This particular outing was the last official album released under the APP moniker, but having spent some time with it I think its right up there with their best material (like Eye In The Sky or Tales Of Mystery & Imagination). And a there are a few cuts in particular, such as Too Late' and the Dire Straits-ish 'Money Talks', that are pure radio gold for the late 80's. Very fun.

...I might have to take that back.

Anyone a fan of At The Drive-In or the great splash of post-hardcore/punk in the noughties, this is for you. Also I guess Frank Turner's the singer, I've never heard his solo stuff but he yells my face clean off
