Far more than just a technological novelty of its time, Kraftwerk's 1978 album makes great leaps over its groundbreaking predecessors, Autobahn and Trans-Europe Express, by colorizing its mood to a point that pretty much rivals the progressive rock acts of the era. The songs may be mostly continuous loops, but their expertly crafted musicalities engulf you enough that they're still emotionally stimulating. [First added to this chart: 01/15/2015]

By the time this came out, electronic dance music was becoming the norm in the pop industry, so it's not as much of a pioneering masterpiece as Kraftwerk's two previous albums, but as was the case on The Man-Machine, the musicians are confident enough about their sound that they're able to create expressive art with it.

Nearly as accomplished as its follow-up, Trans-Europe Express utilizes the electronic sounds tested on Autobahn with enough cohesion that its looping melodies have a crisp sense of direction. [First added to this chart: 01/15/2015]

Rating metrics: Help 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 has a Bayesian average rating of 86.8/100, a mean average of 87.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.6.

It's a clear 100. A very eclectic collection of albums. Brilliant to see so much 80s pop alongside rock and indie. Good to see Debbie Gibson, I nearly put that album on one of my charts, now I think I will.

Fantastic chart. Love the variety; Steely Dan, Billy Joel and Toto in the same chart as The The, Alice in Chains and Radiohead. You don't see that every day!
In any case - all high class music, and some interesting stuff I haven't checked out yet.
