The time has finally come. In the last few months I've gone and listened to some of the best and most well known albums of 2015. Now obviously there were a few albums that I missed, although the only one I think some people might be bothered about is The Blue Whip by Blur. In my defense, I'm not into Blur. I haven't really sat down and listened to any of the bands previous albums. I don't think my critique of the album could be justified for that reason, but I know it's a very good album and many people enjoy it. I also didn't include In Color by Jamie xx simply because I couldn't really get into it, and it didn't make the cut.
