[March 14th, 2023 Update] I don't think I'll ever be satisfied with this chart. Hell, I just updated it and I'm still not happy with it. There's just so many albums on the edge that can teeter in or fall out. I will always be updating. Maybe one day I will do the 1 artist rule, but for right now, the only significant rule is no compilations featuring entire albums. Using RYM genres with some of my own additions. I'll probably end up overhauling this in a few months anyways...
This gets harder and harder with the more time that passes and listens I accumulate.
As always, continuously tweaking.
Any questions?

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 91.3/100, a mean average of 89.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.7.

Really nice chart
EyeKanFly 04/04/2023 14:39
I could've sworn I'd commented another time this was Chart of the Day, but this is really a wonderful chart. Not all albums or genres I love, but every single album here is masterfully crafted and excels at what the artists sets out to do. I've taken some recs from here in the past, and as you continue to update, I think I'll continue to do so (Technodelic is the only one of the new additions that I haven't heard yet, excited to try that one out). I also appreciate the genre descriptors, that's a huge help in deciding whether it's of interest to me or not
This chart’s breadth of scope and genre is so exciting, featuring classics as well as some more obscure but achingly beautiful records. Thanks!

Great chart!
Bravo! Terrific chart. Love the pretense-free comments and insight. Also a huge fan of the "listen to this on a _______, _______ day" bits.
Really nice chart. I have discovered a lot of gems by going through your list. Extra points for the added descriptions.

Great chart! I love the diversity and the fact that it is mostly comprised of albums with that unique quality to them. I'll be sure to check out those which are new for me.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
