What's your top albums of 2015?

[tts42572]

I'm looking for something new to check out so thought maybe seeing some people's best of 2015 lists would help as I don't see too much more coming that will change things much. I like lists like this as it helps see what I've missed...

 

I haven't bought too much in 2015 as it's been busy and I've gotten much more picky in my old age....or I just know where my tastes lie...So I know my list is a bit limited as I really haven't tried all that much. I do need something new to try though...Thinking maybe Armageddonize from Eclipse as I skipped that album....

 

My personal favorite albums are:

 

1) Def Leppard - S/T - I know many here were down on it but I liked it.

2) H.e.a.t - Live In London - Not sure a live album should count but love it and these guys are probably my favorite band going right now.

3) Station - S/T - excellent debut album that fits my tastes perfectly

4) Trixter - Human Era - Solid effort that again fits my tastes well

 

Interested to see some other's lists for ideas on stuff that I should be checking out based upon my tastes.

Here's the 'official' 2015 thread. Lots and lots of good tips in there.

[tts42572]

Eclipse and Find Me are 2 I've had my eye on. Which do you think is better for somebody like me that is a H.e.a.t fan?

 

Or does something else fit better?

That's tough, Eclipse is a little harder than H.E.A.T but still very melodic. I'd say go with Eclipse. Do you know/have Art Nation?

[Glen]

Yeah lol. If you are a HEAT fan just get Art Nation....virtually a carbon copy.

[tts42572]

No...never heard of Art Nation....might have to check that out.

 

I just have been going back through the 205 thread link that Peter posted above...lots of good discussion there.

 

Eclipse is a band I keep trying to get into but something just hasn't clicked. By all accounts, I should like them as their music has all the elements I like...

 

I'm basically between Degreed or Eclipse for something on the heavier side and maybe Find Me or Care of Night on the slightly lighter side.

Yes very good, BUT not as good as H.E.A.T

[Geoff]

Wow mate, interesting list there, to say the least. Is that everything you heard from the whole year?

[Fat Freddy]

I bought a grand total of 8 (!) 2015 releases this year, and I haven't had a couple of those (Armored Saint and W.A.S.P.) long enough to give them more than one or two spins. So check back with me in a week or two, I guess

 

For now, my top three of the year would be:

Raven - Extermination

Queensryche - Condition Human

Stryper - Fallen

Thanks Geoff. Your lists are very cool and complete. I take a look to them before doing my favorites of 1989 and 1996.

Well the 24 I've listed above, I have listened to them carefully. I've forgotten about Angra -The secret garden, I saw them live and take a picture with Felipe.

Like Fat Freddy I must listen to W.a.s.p ,Armored saint and also Stryper (I don't like " pride" very much).

Now I'm listening Degreed, very cool stuff (many people here love them, I think they could be the "winners" ).

I've tried Care of the night, good but lighter than what I am used to, like Cats in space and Toto.

I saw you like Issa, she looks good(for my taste) and she is very kind , I've meet her at Frontiers fest, but I'm not a fan of her voice.

[Kristian]

Art Nation - Revolution

Shiraz Lane - Be the Slave or Be the Change

Biters - Electric Blood

Disturbed - Immortalized

[Geoff]

Still haven't heard Shiraz Lane. Do I need to?

[Kristian]

Still haven't heard Shiraz Lane. Do I need to?

 

Oh yeah, think TNT meets Skid Row, and forget the The Darkness comparisons. "Mental Slavery" is the best track I've heard all year.

 

[Geoff]

I'll check it out before I finish my ratings.

Nice...I obviously missed out on this release...where is it available?

They got signed to Frontiers this year, so I guess we can expect a full length next year.
