Something about these rockers that make them my favorite band. This album it almost perfect in every snare hit, guitar riff, and vocal lyric.

What can I say...Deftones have been my favorite band for 20 years, which is why I have so many of their albums ranked so high. Is it okay to like the music that I like on this website?

I'm not a big Perry Farrell fan but this album has many great songs. Escpecially, Obvious, Three Days, and Classic Girl.

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 has a Bayesian average rating of 66.6/100, a mean average of 63.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 25.0.

:/ Based on your rating system, I thought you would have cool taste. Guess not. Looks like you rate out of spite potentially. Maybe not. Who knows. Below average taste imo.

Seriously, stop rating albums out of spite or because you just want points. It screws up the entire point of this website. Especially since your taste consists of mostly the things everyone likes without room for leeway... Accessible doesn't always mean good...

This chart, for me at least, is very hit and miss. The good parts are the albums I either know or the albums that are very good. The misses are the albums that I'm not familiar or ones that I don't like in particular

I get that there are certain bands you really seem to like, but really? A total of 14 mediocre albums by two mediocre bands like 311 and Deftones really top most of the rest of recorded music in your opinion?

Ok I can't really score this chart as I don't know most of the stuff here. Out of the top 10 I know LZII, In Utero and more recently Ritual De Lo Habitual - so if they are like them then that would be sound.
Your next 10 kinda took me by surprise - again for the one's I recognise. Moondance? Great album. But how does that land so high with a metal head rocker? Would love to know.
I did note some of those older comments so took at look at your scores for albums and can't begin to understand how someone with you top 100 ends up listening to things like Charles Mingus - but credit and right to do so. However your scores indicate that you gave some stuff a listen and just dismissed it immediately. I'm probably more into Indie Rock but when I try an album from another musical style I will give it at least 5 listens before I feel placed to dismiss it or otherwise.
