3. The Smiths
4. Calibre
5. The National

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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.0/100, a mean average of 89.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.0.

screw my last comment, and the chart is still as great as ever
StefanR10 07/29/2020 19:24
Good collection of mostof all albums are normally classics and some underrated gem at the end.
love this chart!!!
DeusExMackia 03/03/2019 22:14
That top 10 is mega. Your taste is superb.
JulianR 11/08/2018 22:28
Damn such nice picks! Great to see such eclectic variety in there. You should keep expanding you comments for these albums.
I too have fallen in love with Blonde recently. You should check out these two albums that feel to me to have a similar feel to them. Not necessarily directly sounding similar, but in the way that they play with noise. 22 A Million is the more similar of the two I would say, and is also my favorite of the two.
Bon Iver - 22, A Million
Low - Double Negative
Always great to see a nice serving of black music on here as it is definitely underrated (no rap in the top 50? come on!!). The other selections are wonderful as well. I finally found someone who likes The Velvet Underground s/t more than & Nico s/t

Eclectic.

Interesting fucking list, man. I’m already happy to see a chart with some hip hop, but damn your picks are good too.
ForegroundNoise 11/08/2018 09:13
Really nice and versatile list, especially the hip hop inclusions. Keep the notes coming they're great!
Really good chart. Surprised to see someone clearly into music not have floyd or Radiohead though.
