See the list of GRAMMY Awards Winners & Nominees for the Album Of The Year. Exhausting Fire is full of mighty riffs, psychedelic atmosphere, haunting melodies, and unquestionable intensity. Deerhunter’s seventh album was easier on the ear than the dark desperation of 2013’s ‘Monomania’, but frontman Bradford Cox’s apparent sense of serenity on early singles ‘Living My Life’ and ‘Breaker’ proved misleading. Your California Privacy Rights. But then, having spent most of the first part of the year on my playlist, it rather faded away under challenge of later arrivals – which is why it features in the shortlist, but didn’t make the top three. Napalm Death – Apex Predator – Easy Meat Pioneers in the realm of “fucking shit up,” Napalm Death will forever serve as everyone’s beacon of destruction. Deradoorian captures everything in a manner similar to Pink Floyd, everything intricately detailed and wondrous to the ears. —Hazel Cills, The biggest difference between the Late Nights With Jeremih mixtape and Late Nights: The Album—the R&B star’s long-delayed, exquistely executed third record—is space. The album cover boasts an image of Del Rey draped over a Hollywood star tour bus, accurately setting the tone for the haunting, glamour soaked tracks that make up the transcendental album. I feel like this should've been an on-going series since the year this site was established. ‘Do Something’ is the most literal of the duo’s punches to passivity. It'd be fine if all Shamir Bailey had going for him was the virtuosity of his voice—his countertenor is capable of subdued softness and piercing force in equal measure.

11 Kurt Vile – ‘B’lieve I’m Goin’ Down…’ —Matthew Ramirez.

Featuring album reviews, ratings, charts, year end lists and more.

Like Elvis in Hawaii or a leather sofa with a plastic slip cover, Prass and her collaborator Matthew E. White’s blend of '70s soul, variety-show country, and music theater is a perpetual mixed signal. And the haunting moments out of vanished-past arrangements—Nelson Riddle strings and soured Chicago horns—are the compellingly bitter flourishes to an album where nostalgia feels less like an escape than a reminder that the ways things go to shit simply shift with the tides.

We said: “The Cribs are old masters at delirious, damaged indie punk greatness, and ‘For All My Sisters’ is rammed with prime cuts. – Cayla Bleoaja 32. Perhaps, for a band as strange as this, making a pop album is the ultimate experiment. The smut was backed by vibrant ‘80s Michael Jackson-style production, resulting in a terrifically fun portrait of a disco-damaged lothario. Blur – The Magic Whip After a 12-year album hiatus, Blur came back in 2015 with The Magic Whip, which was as retro-English-rock sounding as ever; however, this time, coinciding with the album’s artwork, the songs see hints of Southeast Asian influences. Always a band that thrived on a wiry, nervous energy, the fearsome threesome of post-riot grrl rock shouldered and shrugged off the expectation that weighed heavy on their first album in a decade with an exhilarating blast of energy. ‘City Storms’, ‘Summer Of Chances’ and ‘Diamond Girl’ have a surfeit of magnificent riffs nicked from the jack lead of James Dean Bradfield, trampolining chorus hooks and lovelorn breakup lyrics that suggest troubled times.”, 44 Young Thug – ‘Barter 6’

launches every sound, every syllable, every beat, every verse into a heightened reality where alcohol doesn’t lead to hangovers, drugs are purely a pleasurable experience, and sex is without regrets. And then we get to London Thunder, a track that, in context, has all the impact of the opener but through the diametrically-opposite style of quiet contemplation of a situation never desired, but somehow inevitable.

Later, his fretwork on “Cone of Shame” sets a foreboding Morricone-esque tone, setting the perfect foundation for a sinister verse and explosive chorus from longtime singer Mike Patton. ", "Inside R.

Noisy enough to destroy speakers, but counterpointed with melodic sensibilities, Death Magic is often sonically violent and lyrically anti-everything.

Laura Marling – Short Movie Laura Marling is a mere 25 years old and she is writing songs that are so profound that she cannot shake her nickname, “old soul.” With her fifth studio album she has been critically revered for what would be her most personal album to date. TION takes the concept of a pop record to a whole new level with the addition of prominent funky bass, eccentric percussion, and lush soundscapes. The album released September 11, 2015 features a step away from the band’s metalcore roots and headed to more rounded heavy rock style more along the lines of a heavier Linkin Park . , to the point where the appearance of 2014’s (excellent!) The whole is just a complete delight, albeit with some dark undertones. We said: “The most satisfying collection of songs they’ve written in years. The strangest and most immersive rap record of 2015, ‘At. A$AP’ unfolded like a weeklong acid trip. The pace picks up again on track five, Albatross, and then the driving drums of Snake Oil threaten a return to some hard rocking which Night Swimmers maintains in pace, if not quite in intensity. Hopefully you've already read our Song of the Year feature over here. 5 Tame Impala – ‘Currents’ ‘Marks To Prove It’ saw the band pay tribute to a pocket of south London under the grip of gentrification, while jumping from tumbling riffs and rolling piano (‘Spit It Out’) to gentler, more introspective moments (‘River Song’). Whereas Jon Hudson was the newcomer on Album of the Year, here his interplay with founding member Roddy Bottum’s piano is an essential foundation of nearly every song here. This is not an easy choice for a songwriter as prolific as Paul Weller, but anyone who bought, and then tried to endure, the likes of 2008’s 22 Dreams will understand where I am coming from; in this case, less is definitely more. As if to test the foundations of Goon’s songs, Jesso and his jazzbo live band spent the year showing off dramatically revamped renditions in styles ranging from reggae, to dixieland, to metal, to funk. – Heather Elizabeth 39. Vulnerable folk from Joanna Newsom and Sufjan Stevens. All of the tracks are memorable enough on their own to demand a degree of recognition when they come on the radio, but never seem to provide the full impact that they do when heard in sequence; and after a few listenings, that’s exactly what they demand – to the extent that, for the first time in years, I have several times found myself turning off the radio, and playing the whole album instead. And though it may seem unlikely, the moody, restrained contributions of saxophonist Bruce Lamont (Yakuza) make a pitch-perfect counterpoint to the grim, distorted verses recited with equal parts despair and ferocity by Eyehategod’s Mike IX Williams, especially on the Morricone-inspired “Visions Divide.” – Bill Washburn 8.
