I'm not exactly sure what I could say for this album that hasn't been said a million times before. Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood almost broke up the band at the peak of their career in an effort to pursue what was in their
hearts, as opposed to cashing in on an OK Computer sequel. It paid off. This album is a masterclass in songwriting, production, world building, lyric writing, and originality. It creates a universe and destroys it in front of you in less than an hour. No matter how many times you listen to it, you can always find something new, and it can always touch your heart, and your brain, in a new but somehow familiar way.
"I'm not here, this isn't happening"
"I laugh until my head comes off, I swallow 'til I burst .... Here I'm alive, everything all of the time"

"I'm not scared to die, I'm a little bit scared of what comes after."
"They say in heaven there's no husbands and wives, and on the day that I show up they'll be completely out of their forgiveness supplies, and I cant use the telephone to tell you that I'm dead and gone, so you won't know." [First added to this chart: 09/20/2015]
"Remember when you had me cut your hair? Call me Delilah then, I wouldn't care."
"If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm sore, and you could wait tables and soon run the store."
"In the morning waking up to terrible sunlight, all diffuse like skin abuse the sun is half it's size, when you talk you hardly even look in my eyes .... In the morning holding every letter that I wrote, in the driveway pulling away putting on your coat, in the morning washing off my name from your throat."
"Why in the night sky are the lights hung, why is the earth moving round the sun, floating in the vacuum with no purpose not-a-one"
"Wide-eyed walker, don't betray me, I will wake one day, don't delay me, wide-eye leaver, always going." [First added to this chart: 10/09/2022]
"Irony's okay I suppose, culture is to blame."
"Take something and then make it brand new, try to do anything 14 times. Love yourself like someone you love, don't take any of my advice. Write a letter to your future self who won't change, don't let the internet ruin your time. They can take anything as long as it's true, what they can't take is you telling them lies."
"Your death it wont happen to you, it happens to your family and your friends."
"A war has been incited, and guess what? You're all invited, and you're famous. Modernity has failed us." [First added to this chart: 10/09/2022]

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 9% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.2/100, a mean average of 86.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.2.

What I like about your chart is:
1 ~ your notes link your musical taste DNA to the albums and reveal an honesty in your choices and in you;
2 ~ we have TWO albums in common ~ and considering there are 2 generations between us and we grew up on opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean, I would have been disappointed if we had more in common;
3 ~ the 2 common albums we have are separated by 44 years of music: 1969 Abbey Road & 2013 AM. I love it that music can transcend the generations;
4 ~ I used your chart to explore music that has been unknown to me ~ I didn't find anything that excited me, but I enjoyed the deeper journey into 2000's & 2010's;
5 ~ half your chart has albums outside the BEA top 1000 ~ I respect that deeply.
What I didn't like:
1 ~ only 4 countries represented in the chart, and of that 96% is US & UK. Over time you will find that there are heaps of exceptional music out there worthy of including in a top 100 chart;
2 ~ only 1 Australian album! Nice to see one, but ..... I'd be happy to make some suggestions if you are interested.
Overall, I enjoyed spending time with your chart ~ thank you.
Love the notes. Very enjoyable read
great notes!
this chart is the most effectively descriptive one I've ever seen, very nice
Your notes are a really nice touch, with a great attention to detail!!
That said I still find the chart far too weighted to the modern era (which comes about from the rather intense focus on alternative/pop rock) alongside no picks from outside the anglophonic bubble.
Would be very interested to see where this chart goes if you pushed yourself out of your comfort zone a little ... I feel like you might be missing out!!
Album personality. LOL
I dig the Brand New and Basement picks, also the Seahaven album was a nice add. I enjoyed reading your descriptions a lot. Lot of diversity, but I respect your leaning toward demo/hardcore/alternative bands. Cool chart!
Cool to see American Prayer and Evol. Both unique albums
Love the text and enjoy scrolling through.
Fantastic descriptions and I love the inclusion of the personality indicators. Don't often see a chart so heavily weighted towards the 2010s, I personally agree that music has been amazing these last 7 years. Ignore the people calling you out in comments simply on subjective taste, great chart.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
