Default Favourite Albums of 2015 (so far)
Since we're over half way through the calendar year, I figured now would be as good of a time as any to discuss the best albums of the first half of 2015.

I put a list together of my top ten so far this year, and at the moment they are:

Florence + The Machine - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful
Jamie xx - In Colour
Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear
Elvis Depressedly - New Alhambra
Jme - Integrity>
High On Fire - Luminiferous
Vince Staples - Summertime ‘06
Death Grips - The Powers That B
Kendrick Lamar - TPAB
Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell

What are some of yours?

One of the strongest rap albums of the year for sure, I think it was slept on a little bit because of it being released so close to TPAB.

Most definitely, it's the best hip hop record of the year hands down.

1. Billy Woods - Today, I Wrote Nothing
2. Matana Roberts - Coin Coin Chapter Three: River Run Thee
3. Jesus the Carpenter - The Oblique Perspective
4. Africa Express Presents: Terry Riley In C Mali
5. Wolves in Sheepskin - How Your Mother Cried Last Night
6. Zu - Cortar Todo
7. Death Grips - Powers That B
8. The Pop Group - Citizen Zombie
9. Peter Brötzmann, Keiji Haino, and Jim O'Rourke - Two City Blues 2
10. The Body/Thou - You, Whom I Have Always Hated
11. Monkey Plot - Angående Omstendigheter Som Ikke Lar Seg Nedtegne
12. Liturgy - The Ark Work
13. Colin Stetson & Sarah Neufeld - Never Were the Way She Was
14. Jim O'Rourke & Oren Ambarchi - Behold
15. John Zorn - Hen to Pan

I'd say that the top five are the only ones that are in order. The rest could be switched around a bit.
