This album is terrifying,It’s like a horror movie,but even more shocking,It actually makes you feel like playing an unscripted role.It’s not only the music, but also the various aspects of sound effects and techs.Every song creates a haunting horror atmosphere and illustrates frightening and often violent imaginations.In some ways it is a heart pounding adventure.Favorite track:Neun Arme

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 83.2/100, a mean average of 81.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.8.

Oh, YES. Porcupine Tree at #1! Thank you, that made my day.

(BTW, instead of creating a 1-album-per-band chart, you may want to consider listing your favourites in order and using the decade and year charts to show all the other music you like).

The basics: covered. the past: covered. the present: covered. prog rock: a favorite. Solid representation of rap, punk, indie, metal, hard rock and other genres. A great chart. Love the commentary. The last 40 deserve the same treatment as the first 60. And don't apologize for liking a popular album. Sometimes bands get good pr. Sometimes an album is just great.

I like the fact that you seem to have a genuine love for music, even though there are plenty of albums on your chart I fail to see the greatness of.
