This album was my gateway into a whole genre of music, and made me fall in love with the idea of listening to albums from the first track to the end, rather than song by song. The album also has one of my favorite songs to hear live (Wake Up), as my favorite song of the decade (Rebellion)

What I love about listening to this album is you can listen to the song that lasts just a few minutes, and then you can find a live track where they just open up the song and explore it in so many ways.

This was the album that I listened to throughout my time studying abroad in South Africa, so I typically associate it with a lot of special memories. From a musical standpoint, Sleeping Lessons is a top 10 song of the 2000s for me, and Australia is typically a song I will reference when people ask for a playlist of spectacular, easily accessible/enjoyable songs.

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 88.7/100, a mean average of 88.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.2.

Dude, this is great. Nice choices. I love how you're so heavy in the 00's, 10's, and 70's, inexplicably.

When I saw you had Funeral #1 I clicked on your chart decided to give you a bad rating but your comment to why you rank it #1 makes complete sense and has made me appreciate a little more that album. Nice chart overall.
