We’re more than a full month into 2016, and 2015 already feels like a distant memory. After giving it some time to breathe, the music writers at the Rutgers Review have now looked back on 2015 and curated lists of the Top 5 Albums of the year. Our writers’ eclectic tastes don’t lend themselves to being confined to a single list, so we’re very proud to present three lists as the best representation of our opinions.
