This album has been talked about to death, but it doesn't mean that this album isn't absolutely outstanding in every sense.

A burglar broke into your house while you are on a bad acid trip. This is the chaos that follows.

I've had this album for a great long while, and just recently I decided to give it a relisten, and I remembered how good it is.

Nihilistic to the point that it creates a catharsis for me.

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 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.5/100, a mean average of 89.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.1.

A total alright chart that seems to get lost in itself at times. There's so much darker out there than Dead Flag Blues ...

Definitely not a mainstream chart
I'll have to listen to a few albums I've never heard but sure are great.

With the absence of Buyer's Market and that Charles Manson album, I'm free to take this chart seriously again. And fucking hell it's great. So much darkness seeps through, and I love how you have both staple Barrett albums here - they're both great. I prefer Deathconsciousness loads, but honestly both are great. But yeah, this is a solid chart - can't wait to see it get to 100.
