And now the final Top 10 Best Songs (Sorry it took so long).  Here  is the first part of the list in case you've missed it! Also check out our Top 10 Best Albums of 2015  here ! 10) Grimes - Flesh Without Blood Album: Art Angels Flesh Without Blood was the first single of Art Angels. After the initial (and natural) shock of listening and watching the music video, it was clear that Claire Boucher was aiming for something very different from her previous albums. Flesh Without Blood is insanely poppy and catchy but in a way that only Grimes could make. The lyrics of the song also deserve a note since Claire tweeted that Flesh Without Blood isn't about a break up and that she no longers writes music about love. Then what the hell is this song about ? "You hate, you bite, you lose/ After all, I just don't like you", "If you don't need me/Just let me go" Is it about her dog? 9) Turnstile - Gravity Album: Nonstop Feeling Gravity is the first...

Time for the Top 25 best songs of 2015! This is Part One! 25) Therapy? - Tides Album: Disquiet Disquiet was Therapy's back-to-basics album and Tides shows the Northern Irish trio at its best: amazing lyrics and memorable melodies especially in the chorus. 24) Computer Magic - Mindstate Album: Mindstate The title track from one of the two CD's that Computer Magic released this year is so peaceful that you could listen to it in an infinite loop. 23) Soulfly - Titans Album: Archangel The older Max Cavalera gets, the heavier his music gets. Titans begins instantly with a monstrous riff, gets to an epic chorus with chorals backing Max's gutural voice and ends with another monstrous riff. 22) Destroyer - Times Square Album: Poison Season Think of David Bowie with extra flourishes, like strings, percussions and jazz horns and you have this beautiful music. 21) Ghost - Cirice Album: Meliora If all songs in Meliora were like Cirice, ...

Band: Cattle Decapitation Album: The Anthropocene Extinction Release Date: August 7, 2015 Genre: Death Metal/Grindcore Expectation: 7.2/10 Reality: 6.0/10

Another good year in music is (almost) gone. I wish I could say it was an excellent year in music but I can't. I mean, there were pretty goods records in 2015 but none of them really stood off like Yeezus in 2013 or Transgender Dysphoria Blues and RTJ2 in 2014. Given this homogeneity, I've had a really good time thinking about and making this list because it was hard to select only 10 records, many missed making the cut. This is my Top 10 Albums right now but maybe in a month I would change two or three records and put Myrkur's M or Publicist U.K's Forgive Yourself or Riverside's Love, Fear and the Time Machine or Tenement's Predatory Headlights... Like last year's list I'll update the "reality" of the albums. Anyway, enjoy and tell us your Top 10!
