Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
SleepDealer 
The latest version limits albums to a maximum of two per artist.
Criteria for inclusion essentially revolve around there being a personal connection with the music. A more 'objective' list would look rather different, but probably a lot less interesting at the same time.

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 89.9/100, a mean average of 90.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.0.

Really intrigued by your taste, a great mixture of genres and nationalities. Would love to see some notes so as to understand the person behind the list!!

What a cool chart! I should check out those Japanese albums.
Tha1ChiefRocka 06/15/2019 15:59
I rated it, but I never left a comment. I'm gonna nick a couple of these for my own chart. You've got the Japanese ambient market cornered. :)
sophialeviev 07/19/2018 02:51
Good shit! So much here I have to check out. Good work.
Wh3n1nR0me 09/03/2017 20:50
Eclectic selection, what's not to like?
bobbyb5 08/04/2017 04:45
Fuckin awesome. I love it.
CharlieBarley 03/09/2017 03:01
Good chart. Quite a few I've heard of and like. Some of the ones I don't know I want to check out. 10 albums in common.
sageamagoo 03/09/2017 01:55
Love this chart—extremely personal, diverse, and good! Will definitely be taking suggestions from here in the future :)
LedZep 03/08/2017 22:51
Don't like some of the choices, but it's a personal and interesting chart. "Criteria for inclusion essentially revolve around there being a personal connection with the music. A more 'objective' list would look rather different, but probably a lot less interesting at the same time."
Couldn't have put it better myself, that's basically the same thing as with my chart.
I think you're on a similar wavelength to me, and I like pretty much everything on here that I've heard - I should make an effort to track down the rest.
