Top 50 Greatest Music Albums by TheMusicDefener

For a long time I had some junk on here just taking up space. Now I think I've filled it up with only things that I love.

It doesn't work for me to do only 1 album per artist, because it wouldn't show my tastes in full. So yeah, 4 Islands albums.

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 is rated in the top 7% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.3/100, a mean average of 89.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.6.

Unicorns are fantastic and his other band Islands are pretty cool as well. Two Can albums in the top ten, that's cool. Burst Apart by The Antlers is amazing! Spoon and LCD are great. Cool chart!

The honesty in your chart's bio is refreshing, and great to see Tim Hecker and a smattering of post-rock mixed in too. Would love to see some more notes maybe?
