I like my pop noisy and my noise poppy.
I'll be going through these periodically. I will be updating them with reasonings and some lyrical excerpts.

Unforgettable. The timbres throughout this record are so meticulously sought it seems inhumanly gorgeous. The four sampled chords in Idioteque alone can bring tears to my eyes. Radiohead is the only band that can make me believe word salad lyrics can be truly profound.

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 85.7/100, a mean average of 85.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.7.

Really dig this chart and like the descriptions
Good chart
Best chart I've seen...up until Savage Garden and Phantom Planet anyway. Great to see Tusk in there.
ShadowColossi 03/04/2016 10:05
I dig this chart a lot. Especially the inclusion of Yuck and Slaughterhouse. Plus some Sigur Ros love is always good
alexgagne 02/04/2016 21:03

Iceage -Plowing Into The Field Of Love (3)

Still magnificent.

There are quite a few albums in there that I love but also others that I can't connect with.
junodog4 02/25/2015 03:29
I do like Bright Eyes (though clearly not as much as you).
