Top 3 Most Disappointing Albums of 2015

Well, another year is coming to a close, which means it's list time! However, while 2015 has been a fantastic year for music, not all albums are created equal and sometimes, an artist can't help but put out an album that is not up to their usual quality... or just put out a straight up bad album. These are the albums that may not be the "worst" albums of the year, but they left me wanting so much more. Enjoy!

 #3. Tyler, the Creator: Cherry Bomb

While Tyler has never been the most reliable musician in terms of quality, he was at least on to something great with his last album, Wolf. But, just like how Goblin spoiled the good will of Bastard, so we get Cherry Bomb, an album that takes the good ideas of the previous album and replaces them with ones that just don't work. I wanted to love this album's over the top antics, but too often the music was left in shambles, which at the end of the day, is what Tyler is attempting to entertain us with.

#2. A$AP Rocky: AT. LONG. LAST. ASAP

Ugh, just like Cherry Bomb, this album takes the ideas of a truly memorable album and tarnishes them. Rocky went from MVP of his own crew to being an artist who is entirely passable. The biggest thing that this album suffers from is a lack of charisma, which leaves most of this album feeling boring and endless, which is the exact opposite feeling I got from Rocky's last LP. Like I said in my review, I just hope that the next album is better, or at least entertaining in its mediocrity.

#1. Grimes: Art Angels

And this my friends, is the definition of disappointment. I was so excited for this LP, and aside from the demo version of "Realiti" showing a lot of promise, all but maybe two tracks on this album fail to live up to it. I understand that people are totally in the right to be enjoying and praising this album, but I just can't get behind it. In short, Grimes embraces clean production and influences like Madonna, both things that on the surface seem  great, but she also handles both of these aspects with the subtlety of a sledgehammer and comes off extremely corny and cheap. I'm just crossing my fingers for the future, because I really need a new Grimes album to actually enjoy.
