Defining Track - This Is The End

'This Is The End' is the perfect way to end the album and the rest of the album is also very strong. The album launches into life with 'Break On Through (To The Other Side)' and the seven minute epic 'Light My Fire' in the middle.

Defining Track - White Riot

Not the Clash's most critically acclaimed album (London Calling), but this album shows a real hatred to society in the 70s as well as songs criticising the government and politics. The incredible energy in this album makes it my favourite punk album

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 12% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.8/100, a mean average of 87.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.8.
