What a great half year it’s been! It is now current July 2nd in the States and that means the first half of 2015 is done and gone. It’s as good as any time to recap and go over my favorite albums of the year out of all the great records that I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing. Below is the list as you may have already noticed unless you’re blind. There are 20 albums in total if you want to know, and I am putting them in no particular order when it comes to how much I like them, how often I listen to them, blah, blah, blah. You get the idea. These albums range from all sorts of genres from nu metal to post to doom to psychedelic rock to folk to sludge metal and more, so hopefully all of you should find at least one album that intrigues you. Well I’ll waste no more of your time, go through the albums then and choose which is your favorite. Click the text above the covers for a direct link to a stream of the full album or tracks off of it.
