Top Albums of 2015

[nimielle]

Hey everyone,

I haven't done one of these in a while so I've decided to change the format a little bit. You essentially get gushy reviews (in most cases) of the new releases I loved best in 2015. They are in order of favourite to least favourite. Enjoy!

DUDE!!! She was just touring Europe!! I saw her live in Cologne in November and it was so awesome!!! <3 Also, the album is really really really really good, you need to tell me what you think of it, once you've given it a spin! And yay for fellow Madonna fan! I know way too few fans myself.

Florence is just fantastic, she does everything so well and I just love most of her stuff so very much. It always makes me happy when an artist I love delivers such a great album!

The thing about Mumford is that I love them, or used to, their first two albums are fucking breathtaking revelations and as I said it's perfectly ok for them to try something else but to me it felt like waking up beside a stranger that I didn't even remember taking home. Essentially they roofied me into buying this album and I just feel betrayed.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. To me it just means I'm not going to go out of my way to see them live and I'm not going to buy their next album without giving it a thorough listening to first.

I really hope you do. Especially Lord Huron and Boy and Bear are fucking perfect! Both live and in the studio. They are just so underrated. In the past, I used to include little youtube links and a section about "listen to this if you liked: xyz" but this time round I wanted to do it differently.

please tell me now that she didnt come by vienna otherwise i must go and cry in my polster because how could i have missed that *headdesks*
and i have the same discovery. i mean i know we are million of madonna fans but i never meet them! it's a tiny bit sad but know i know you!
by the way: your most fav song from her all time? (you can cheat and give me your top 3 ;) between fans)

i totally anderstand your thing with mumford- its not always good when they change too much- some bands to the right changes and just get more awesome over time, but others just shouldnt!
i hope a future album will make up for this one for you!

and i shall totally give your suggestions a try! you will hear afterwards from me again ;)

I honestly don't know, but I know she did two concerts in Cologne and two in Berlin. If you ever wanna fly over to see one of the ones in Cologne let me know and you can crash and on my air mattress.

Hm, that is tough indeed.

However only picking one is easier than picking 5, so let's start with 1: Lucky Star, hands down. Always is and always will be Lucky Star. :D

Now onto the 5 songs. Since I've already gushed about the Rebel Heart album, I'm excluding those songs from this list in no particular order and under no circumstances will you say there are more than 5 on that list:

Burning Up
Celebration
She's not me
Isaac
La Isla Bonita (live from the Confessions Tour)
Runaway Lover
Like a Prayer
Little Star

What are yours?

Yeah, me too, although I'm not really bothered now, looking at other artists instead. :) And yes, please do!
