2015's finest in albums!

This is so bloody overdue, so let's get straight to it! Iiiiiit's... the top twenty albums of 2015! Yes, 20! 2014 was, in my opinion, a slightly less exciting than usual year for new music, but 2015 more than made up for it with some absolute corkers, and once again, Neeso's end of year chart has been extended to accommodate all the radness! So, without further ado:

20. Dumbsaint - Panorama, in ten pieces (Australia)
19. The Basics - The Age of Entitlement (Australia)
18. The Black Dog - Neither/Neither (UK)
17. Purity Ring - Another Eternity (Canada)
16. Squarepusher - Damogen Furies (UK)
15. Bjork - Vulnicura (Iceland)
14. Batpiss - Biomass (Australia)
13. White Fang - Chunks (USA)
12. Jamie xx - In Colour (UK)
11. The Meanies - It's Not Me, It's You (Australia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Hiatus Kaiyote - Choose Your Weapon (Australia)
9. The Sidekicks - Runners in the Nerved World (USA)
8. Iron Maiden - The Book of Souls (UK)
7. Faith No More - Sol Invictus (USA)
6. The Chemical Brothers - Born in the Echoes (UK)
5. High Tension - Bully (Australia)
4. Battles - La Di Da Di (USA)
3. Royal Headache - High (Australia)
2. Clowns - Bad Blood (Australia)
1. Leftfield - Alternative Light Source (UK)

Yeah, what can I say? It was a bloody good year!As always, we can have a look over this chart and see that local music was again extremely strong! The top five in particular features three very strong albums from bands who were now onto their second long-player. They managed to capitalise on very strong starts and come out with even stronger products! And all up, the countdown featured EIGHT Aussie artists. Hang on, is that as much as usual? Still a good showing nonetheless. Meanwhile, we had six UK artists, four from the US of A, and one apiece from Canada and Iceland!
