Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by Antonio-Pedro

"God gave us music so that we, first and foremost, will be guided upward by it. All qualities are united in music: it can lift us up, it can be capricious, it can cheer us up and delight us, nay, with its soft, melancholy tunes, it can even break the resistance of the toughest character. Its main purpose, however, is to lead our thoughts upward, so that it elevates us, even deeply moves us. ... Music also provides pleasant entertainment and saves everyone who is interested in it from boredom. All humans who despise it should be considered mindless, animal-like creatures. Ever be this most glorious gift of God my companion on my life's journey, and I can consider myself fortunate to have come to love it. Let us sing out in eternal praise to God who is offering us this beautiful enjoyment.

- Nietzsche in 1858

This chart needs some work to blossom away, still need to end some notes from my diary, men at work in progress.

Love you all, Antonio Momonio <3

Old dusty dixieland records playing with an holographic exposition of happy people on 40s ballroom dances. Luckily I have been on a certain stroke of good discoveries in the last few blue moons, this album and some few I found while in my wild musical jungle discoveries out there, certainly got me joyful on its first respective spins, in a way which both of them could translate into a certain emotional enchanting reverberation in my ears, and this just has got me hyped and certainly kinda artistic (such as my interest for different areas of art, such as Graphic design and photography) have developed a lot lately. And so I thought it would be more than fair writing about one of the responsible for all this curiosity. I commonly have the habit of setting a tone to certain albums, and it's no lie that it normally makes the experience of enjoying the music itself more delightful, as all the landscape that my eyes can catch is comfortable and adequate, giving a blooming synesthesiatic avalanche for my heart and soul, the ears and eyes are able to transport me to a certain dimension that is almost achievable to the aesthetic of the record. With An empty bliss, I commonly find it being the last thing I hear at night, and the first soundtrack to my dreams at dawn, it's such a peaceful and mellow record with its scratching noises and dixieland nostalgia, it could bring back unlived and living memories of your grandpa's childhood, with it's sampling of old jazzy tunes it manages to disintegrate the listener into a liquid flow of homesickness and relate-ness. While many people can almost portray this as a certain blood-brother as the bioshock sondtrack, I find it much more closer to that scene in wall-e in which it watches the old movies and with its humanized consciousness, is able to scratch emotions from that gradient of art, which is also one of the most significant scenes on the cinema for me. I have been speaking of bittersweetness in my notes for quite a few time, and for me one of the most interesting moments of music's after laughter bittersweet is that it manages to contrast opposing extremes of the whole spectrum into the same artistic package, and with this album they have quite hit the perfect high spot for it. As I have spoken before, my impulse of attaching the album to a certain atmosphere outside of me is mostly because of the desire of being vulnerable for to all the thousand-face feelings to take over me and mix inside my stomach, until bringing me to a certain contrast of unexplainable melancholia, melancholia has never been so pleasurable before, as the strings locks in with the record playing in the back I lay down in my chair and think about my past and nostlagia tickles me into a dreamy adventure reminding me how good life is. Last week I was reading about human emotion and how different cultures have their own native words for their emotions, and it allowed me to understand so much about this sea of consistent emotional ups and downs in my mind, it allows you to understand so much more and to give voice to that human expression inside of you, and recognize that moment of bliss in which we found ourselves to find a meaning in the universe around us, and it's a fucking beautiful place.

"An Empty Bliss Beyond This World follows the mind of a person who tries and struggles to remember even small parts of his life using broken sounds. The record was based on a 2010 study about the ability of people with alzheimer's disease to remember music they listened to when they were younger, as well as where they were and how they felt when they listened to it. The Caretaker project was inspired by the use of ballroom music in films such as Carnival Of Souls, The Shining, and the television series Pennies from Heaven, which drew James Kirby to themes of memory loss that appear on An Empty Bliss Beyond This World: "Famously, people as they got older have started seeing dead people, people from the past, and that's their reality because the brain's misfiring. I'm very interested in these kinds of stories. Music's probably the last thing to go for a lot of people with advanced Alzheimer's. There are a lot of people who suffer from Alzheimer's who just hum the same songs over and over again" [First added to this chart: 01/30/2018]

Truly one of a kind, I can't think of any kind of art similar to this, and I think it's quite beautiful. It's bittersweet, and sad, it takes you through a lot, and the end explores your inner fragility with such sadness it's fantastic. Rationally challenging, an emotional odyssey.

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 92.9/100, a mean average of 93.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.8.

Very nice. I like the added info under each choice as well. Explanations and information referring to the choice and the reason picked helps the reader a lot. I've done a few, buy not all. Very sad that that the number one album, "Eureka," can't be found in most places, or anywhere else to purchase or listen, except on youtube.
