One of the greatest albums of all time, period. The first side of the record is great, but the second half? Pure magic.

I also always wished "Her Majesty" was a lot longer.

Tori's least accessible but by far greatest work as a whole. It listens like a dark, Southern storybook of heartache, succinctly describing what it feels like to be emotionally spent and crawling on your knees, looking for an answer to the painful big breakup.

At first listen in college, I was not into this at all. This album takes time, but is worth every moment of enjoyment. I used to listen to it driving to work before dawn in the dark, with miles of black highway stretched before me. Favorite song: "In Limbo." [First added to this chart: 10/08/2014]

The soundtrack to my life in northern Minnesota. An old boyfriend introduced it to me and I'm forever grateful. Favorite song: "Cowboy Dan." [First added to this chart: 10/08/2014]

It took me a long time to get into PJ Harvey, and to be honest, she's still slowly seeping in. Every time I hear her I find something new, rich, beautiful. Favorite song: "We Float." [First added to this chart: 10/08/2014]

I love how easy it is to pick out who belongs to which song. "Don't Pass Me By" is the best thing Ringo ever did (in my opinion), besides yelling out on "Helter Skelter" about blisters on his fingers. [First added to this chart: 10/08/2014]

They're experimenting mostly, but the experiments on this record are brilliant. "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "She Says" are like a sneak peak into what the Beatles are capable of in terms of experimental rock. [First added to this chart: 10/08/2014]

Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)

This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 86.5/100, a mean average of 85.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.6.
