Though i know musically this isn't the best album on my list musically, its songs make up 9/10 of my top ten most played, and it probably the album i've liked most. Gives me this great sense of nostalgia...even though i only discovered it february '11.

Probably the only woman to get anywhere near the top, she is such a good singer/songwriter, nearly every song on this album is great. Listen to Cosmic Love, Rabbit Heart, Blinding.

Can't believe i missed their tour! This album is so different to Antidotes, an album i didn't particularly enjoy, and so brilliantly good. Listen to Alabaster, Blue Blood, Black Gold, Total Life Forever, What Remains.

Once again, the National excel themselves, Bloodbuzz Ohio is one of my favorite songs of 2010, and the rest is just stupendous. Listen to - Runaway, Bloodbuzz Ohio, Terrible Love, in fact all of it.

Obviously very Bob Dylane esque and Tallest Man is clearly not as iconic but i much prefer his style of guitar. Brilliant album!

Perhaps its just because its new, but i really think this album is better than For Emma: much more positive and uplifting and fresh. Listen to - Holocene, Towers, Perth...avoid Beth/Rest.

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 has a Bayesian average rating of 80.8/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.2.

Amazing chart ! Strong correlation with my top 50 overall chart.
I now consider to add Wu Life, The Antlers (Hospice) and Surfer Blood (Astro Coast) to my chart.

It's absolutely obscene how many 2K albums you have on this chart. You really need to spend more time with the classics.
