Top Albums of 2015

Figured it's best to start this today since the first album of the year I'm interested in, Ghost Culture's self titled debut, has been released. Really enjoying it. It's less on the club bangers and sounds more like what I expected The Horrors album to be before it was released last year.

So far I know about 2015 albums for the following: Noel Gallagher, Fall Out Boy, Imagine Dragons, Ne-Yo, Lupe Fiasco & Ludacris. Also, they're not my cup of tea but I imagine there are a fair few Enter Shikari fans on here, I heard they're new album is out January 19th.

Imagine Dragons' new stuff has been quite fucking horrific so far, so my hopes aren't high.

Enter Shikari's album will be the first physical CD album I've bought for ages. Got it along with the gig ticket for the Barras. Looking forward to it, but I'd imagine it won't be troubling any album of the year list.

Also just been hearing whispers that Florence & the Machine's new album is currently being mixed. They seem to be lining up summer festival gigs too, Coachella etc.... New album is likely for 2015 and I'm quite looking forward to that, whenever that may be.

Albums i'll be looking out for, some big hitters;

Slayer - First without Jeff Hanneman, i wait with baited breath. You kind of know what you're getting with Slayer though so it should still be a cracker...hopefully.

Megadeth - Potentially, they're in the studio just now but with the guitarist and drummer leaving then who knows...rumours flying about a Menza/Friedman return which would be orgasmic, but I can't see it.

Lamb of God - There's supposed to be a new offering this year. Resolution was 2012 so sounds about right, I'm sure Randy Blythe said they were working on new material.

Metallica - Again, supposed to have a new album coming out this year. They played Lords of Summer when i saw them at Sonisphere this year

Black Sabbath - Ozzy said they will begin writing early 2015. Might not appear to 2016, so we'll see.

edit: Iron Maiden! - How could I forget...
