This is easily the best thing that Cymbals Eat Guitars have ever done. This is able to be expansive, complex, intricate, but still remain personal and intimate in a way, and that’s because of how good Joseph D’Agostino is at writing songs. His lyrics are deeply personal and very real, very honest, and because of that, and the way he sings along with the music behind him, the songs are very powerful. They crescendo into powerful, bombastic climaxes, as good as anything you’d hear in the best post-rock music. The guitar work is great too, big guitar solos that express the frustration and pain that’s often in the lyrics almost as well as the lyrics do. It’s an impressive album, a beautiful album and one worth giving a serious listen to.

Highlights include: “Laramie”, “Jackson”, “Child Bride” and “XR”. [First added to this chart: 09/08/2014]

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 5% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.9/100, a mean average of 90.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.0.

Genuinely pleased to see After the Disco getting some love on your chart, as I thought it was the best album of 2014. I've really come to appreciate what a great producer Danger Mouse is, as he's able to adapt his approach in a chameleon-like way to draw out the talents of the artists he works with. Overall a really enjoyable chart to puruse and sample from!

Not a list you encounter everyday. I guess I have to check out Flying Lotus again.

And I thought that except for the War on Drugs 2014 was a mediocre year. When I read your comments it wants me to check at least some of the albums you're very positieve of.

@AMS - of course, any album could get into the top ten. You're Dead and Hell Can Wait joined the chart just within the past week or two
