Funeral

Arcade Fire

Began as one of the worst albums ever in my opinion, and ended in my top 10. One of the most beautiful things i've ever listened to. Wake Up really gets me everytime i listen to it. [First added to this chart: 09/09/2010]

Elephant

The White Stripes

One of the best true rock albums of the 2000s. Seven Nation Army is for me, the best rock track of the decade. [First added to this chart: 09/09/2010]

Virou!

Diabo Na Cruz

Traditional Portuguese music with a rock sound. A combination i thought would be impossible, but that results in a very exciting album. Is not long, is not perfect, but is one of the most impressing albums i've ever listened to. [First added to this chart: 09/09/2010]

Kid A

Radiohead

The most haunting album ever. I really feel scared when i listened to this at night, because it creates a claustrophobic atmosphere that traps us inside it. Only a great album by a great band is able to do that. Amazing. [First added to this chart: 09/09/2010]

After lots of attempts by Green Day to do something nearly as good as Dookie, they finnaly finished American Idiot. A political, enraged record that showed us that Green Day aren't dead yet. It seems a common punk album ? It is not. [First added to this chart: 09/09/2010]

Absolution

Muse

Muse are often considered Radiohead Wannabes. Wrong. Muse are a good band on their own, and Absolution is the proof. Songs like Hysteria and Time Is Running out, are amazing tracks. [First added to this chart: 09/09/2010]

MGMT

Psychadelic Rock of the 21st century. Really like this album, especially the first two tracks. One of the best of the decade. [First added to this chart: 09/13/2010]

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

Rock songs for you to dance to. Something unusual but good. The Arctic Monkeys' debut is an album that if you really get into, you'll enjoy for a long period of time. [First added to this chart: 09/09/2010]

One of the mostly beautiful albums i've ever listened to. Not only a great collection of songs but also shows what Radiohead are still able to do. [First added to this chart: 01/18/2011]

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 85.6/100, a mean average of 83.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.0.

Pretty solid list so far. Would recommend Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins if you haven't heard them yet.
