Best Rock Album of 2015


Alright rock fans, let's get our annual thread started.

I'm really digging:

Lord Huron "Strange Trails"

It's definitely in the War on Drugs section of the rock spectrum, but adds some rockabilly-type pace.

Regarding My Morning Jacket & Death Cab For Cutie.. their latest' sound very good. My top pick right now for "best rock album" is DCFC. The differences in them as I see it, for sonics are:
MMJ = an overall feeling that this is an album that gets it's sound from studio trickery, IE: mixing, isolating individual people/instruments then adjusting accordingly, it's inconsistent.
DCFC = a very consistent sound that I find to be at least a half a notch or more above and beyond the MMJ. It sounds much, much more like I think it would sound live. Isn't this suppose to be the test?
... also, by comparison the MMJ is thick and confused it the bass to the DCFC lp.
Ryan Bingham "Fear & Saturday Night", one caveat...expect your lps to be warped. ( I've owned two copies, one was pressed so out of center that you could literally watch the tonearm move side to side a couple of times per revolution, ( when I took it back for replacement, the dealer played it back on his Crosley and could immediately hear Ryan's famous gravely voice was out of wack), my latest copy was just warped.) Notice I said, "just warped".
