B&C's 2015 Albums of the Year AKA The One Time A Year Peef Uses Math

Surprised that El Vy record wasn't higher. Also I don't recall seeing Divers on any list - obviously I am misremembering there, but did anyone really talk about that album around here at all?


Divers was #1 on my list as it was the best album of the year.
And it's not very likely there'll be a better album this year either.
 
I hate to be one of those saying "all the critics are wrong," but In Colour was an album I simply could not get behind. It's almost like people felt bad for being indifferent to Coexist and so decided to lavish praise on his electronica turn.

Man I must not have been paying attention but it seems like Kendrick was high on pretty much every list. Chvrches and Wolf Alice beating it is really, really surprising.
