The 24 Best Albums of 2015

Once you've seen My Morning Jacket live, all of their studio albums sound flat and underwhelming in comparison. The Waterfall is no different, but I'm lucky enough to have heard these songs performed in concert twice this year. So while The Waterfall is one of MMJ's grandest and most multitextured albums, I like it because of what I know they can do with it onstage.
