Top 75 Greatest Music Albums
by 
Radioscope 
I know there's a lot of artists with more than one album, but I tend to love more than one album from the same artist, maybe a bit too much. Truth be told, I still have a long way to be as musically experienced as I would like to, so this is a work in progress. Not much will be surprising, but this is, after all, my favorites.

"I see it all" (x1000)
If I ever was asked to described what this album sounded like, I would show them the front cover and tell the person to imagine they were being followed by that beast with that creepy simle, that is so large you only see it because it is so far away... But now it has smelled you and it knows you, and it is going for you and despite you trying to run away beat per beat it starts running towards you. Try to run and hide, but it will get you and it will punch you.
Favorite tracks: Mother Of The World, Lunacy, Avatar. [First added to this chart: 01/02/2015]

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 88.6/100, a mean average of 90.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.2.

Probably will give a higher rating when I see all 100 albums, hoping for some earlier Biffy stuff!
