Entertainment Weekly's 12 Best Albums of 2015 (So Far)

Alabama Shakes - Sound & Color
April 21, 2015
Critic Score
79
35 reviews

The songs here are far more intricately constructed than anything on the band’s debut, and the musicianship is disciplined almost to a fault; a little unbridled rocking out would actually have injected some needed verve into Color’s quieter second half.

Björk - Vulnicura
January 20, 2015
Critic Score
85
41 reviews

Drake - If You're Reading This It's Too Late
February 12, 2015
Critic Score
76
30 reviews

With no clear bangers on the landscape, Late feels more like the platonic ideal of a Drake album: a woozy, wordy stream-of-consciousness whose stylistic shifts are subtle on a molecular level.

Jamie xx - In Colour
June 1, 2015
Critic Score
83
45 reviews

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
March 15, 2015
Critic Score
95
45 reviews

Lamar operates in the same boldly visionary idiom as the Purple One, expanding the boundaries of the hip-hop empire and daring other aspirants to the throne—yes, even Kanye, even Jay—to play catch-up.

Marina & the Diamonds - Froot
March 13, 2015
Critic Score
73
21 reviews

The Welsh chanteuse’s first two records were rooted in clubby dance-pop, but on her latest, she tosses off the dubstep like cheap cubic zirconia. The change highlights her brightest facet—that limber voice, which swings from voluptuous alto to fluttering soprano in one swoop.

METZ - II
May 5, 2015
Critic Score
77
21 reviews

Sleater-Kinney - No Cities to Love
January 20, 2015
Critic Score
89
46 reviews
Now that they’re back, here’s to them living forever.
