*6 May 2014. "This charting is rotting"... Lately I always been having this thought. So I make some relevant changes here. Despite the endless agony of chose what is best than what, I think this chart is nearly up to date for nowadays.
Also reduced to 2 albums per artist.

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 4% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.0/100, a mean average of 89.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.8.

Thank you guys for all the comments here. It`s my chart of the day and I finally feel like a BEA adult lol.
Yes BraddlesHendo, Daydream Nation is a truly pearl for me. It instantly makes me feel like an angry explosive teenage again. It`s an album for living. I advice you to listen to it again after watch "1991 The Year Punk Broke"
Also seems like that Pompeii made some success here and we have to admit the guys had put so much spirit recording this one. It feels much more personal than some studio recorded songs like Echoes which I prefer this version here.
Finally I have to admit AGAIN that some choices here are actually outdated and others missing due the lack of time. Some albums like Filosofem and others splendid black metal records certainly will get into.

My indie chart is in order to an extent, yes :) Mostly the top 40 or so, then trails off into a handful of good albums in a more lackadaisical order.
I just download 'Time To Suck' a few days ago, nice to see it on your chart :) I must give it a listen soon.

I know about that, that's how I rate movies, games and albums. When something is 5/10, that's average and in most terms that means you didn't really like it. Also seeing the fact that you give most of the other charts you rated high ratings like 70-100s I thought obviously you didn't like mine.
