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. [First added to this chart: 06/11/2017]

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.

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.

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