Every album to catch my ear during 2015, rated, with plenty of non-metal for those of you who like to branch out and see what the whole world of music has to offer. Variety'll always be a virtue.

Numerous focused listens needed before rating.
Updates will (hopefully) be constant.

New Update: In order to promote exploration into albums you may not know, I've decided to include "Standout Track" segments for any album which has a track I feel you all MUST listen to. Hopefully these can help hook people with albums they're not familiar with, because chances are they instantaneously hooked me.

1.Death Grips - The Powers That B

2.Leprous - The Congregation

3.Clarence Clarity - No Now

4.Björk - Vulnicura

5.Envy - Atheist's Cornea

This is a list of all the albums I have fully listened to in 2015. Each comes with their own rating and my opinion on that album. I have listened to all of these albums a minimum of 4-5 times each. This year I'm not going to go for 55+ albums like 2014. Instead I will only listen to new albums of bands that I know or curious about. I will be more focused on older albums this year, so this list will be tiny. Still open for suggestions.

1.Gorod - A Maze Of Recycled Creeds

2.Symphony X - Underworld

3.August Burns Red - Found In Far Away Places

4.Amorphis - Under The Red Cloud

5.The Agonist - Eye Of Providence
