       Well, it's hard to believe, but we're already halfway through 2015. So, it's only natural for us to talk about some of our favorite albums of the year so far, right? We have a few categories on this list. First is our top five albums of 2015 so far. Then, we'll talk about what we feel is the most disappointing album of the year thus far, and then a few songs that we've been playing on repeat for the last few months. Ok ready? 
JOSEPH'S FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2015 SO FAR (In no particular order - scroll over the album for an explanation.)

Twenty One Pilots - Blurryface

Kamasi Washington - The Epic

Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly

Susanne Sundør - Ten Love Songs


JOSEPH'S BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT OF 2015 SO FAR
Mumford and Sons - Wilder Mind
For all the hype surrounding this album; with the hullabaloo surrounding the notion that Mumford and Sons were "going electric," what we got was an extremely bland The National-ripoff. I've listened to Sigh No More so much in the car, but now, two albums later, Mumford and Sons have all but lost the magic of that first album that made them as a great as they were. What's worse, now we might get one more electric album before we get a "triumphant return to folk" or some crap. You used to be good, Mumford and Sons....

JOSEPH'S FAVORITE SONGS OF 2015 SO FAR (In no particular order)
Florence + The Machine - "Delilah"
X Ambassadors - "Unsteady"
Father John Misty - "Chateau Lobby #4"
Twenty One Pilots - "Heavydirtysoul"
Susanne Sundfør - "Memorial"




DEREK'S TOP FIVE ALBUMS OF 2015 SO FAR (In no particular order - scroll over the album for an explanation)

Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell 

Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear 

Kamasi Washington - The Epic 

The Decemberists - What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World
 
The Lone Bellow - Then Came The Morning


DEREK'S BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT OF 2015 SO FAR
Mumford and Sons - Wilder Mind
It's Bob Dylan goes electric...badly.

DEREK'S FAVORITE SONGS OF 2015 SO FAR
Tame Impala - "Let It Happen"
The Decemberists - "Make You Better"
