I don't really listen to music as it comes out, so the only albums from this year I've heard are The Color Before the Sun from Coheed and Cambria and St. Cecilia (Warning: Autoplay) by The Foo Fighters.

For C&C, I've found The Color Before the Sun much easier to get into than older C&C albums. I've always wanted to get into their music, but never could until now, despite trying a couple times.

Similar story with St. Cecilia: Couldn't really get into Sonic Highways or Wasting Light, but have rather enjoyed St. Cecilia thus far.

Beyond that, I have picked up quite a few artists this year that didn't release anything this year: The Protomen, John Mayer's newer country-er stuff, the Fallout 4 soundtrack, along with listening to playlists inspired by New Vegas. Finally, I became picked up some old favorites this year for the first time in a while. Namingly various songs that I used to listen to from the Ramones, The Airborne Toxic Event, and Nine Inch Nails.
