Billboard's 10 Best Albums of 2015 (So Far)

Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment - Surf
May 29, 2015
Critic Score
82
18 reviews
Much of the album is frenetic -- full of bodies and larger-than-life. But the muted and downcast moments end up being memorable, tender and affecting.

Florence + The Machine - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful
June 2, 2015
Critic Score
77
39 reviews

It's not a radical reformation of Welch's style; she hasn't stripped all the ornamentation from her cathedral of sound and become a folky confessional songwriter. But she is resorting less to abstract, lofty imagery and speaking with a more frank immediacy.

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

For as erudite as it is, though, In Colour doesn't require footnotes to enjoy -- it's first and ­foremost a dance record.

Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material
June 23, 2015
Critic Score
77
22 reviews
This is an even better album than her last, with more consistency and variety. And Musgraves still excels at chiding Southern tradition.

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

Despite the bold declarations, beautiful beats and brash imagery, To Pimp a Butterfly is not an announcement, it's a conversation.

Rae Sremmurd - SremmLife
January 6, 2015
Critic Score
76
12 reviews

Sleater-Kinney - No Cities to Love
January 20, 2015
Critic Score
89
46 reviews
