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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.1/100, a mean average of 88.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.0.

I feel that I need to give Frank Ocean another chance. If someone can love his albums the most of any of all time, then I must be missing something.
Larcx13 12/10/2020 00:35
You have some of my least favorite popular albums mixed with some of my all time favorites... I dont get Frank Ocean and Kanye but nice to see The Strokes and Kendrick in top 10. Good chart!
jnfbn 12/09/2020 11:04
amazing chart here! gotta love the taste
DommeDamian 12/09/2020 09:28
Probably the first list I've seen where Die Lit's in the top 10, daslit.
You have the most entertaining chart I have seen. Eclectic. Yes, Personal. Yes. Surprising. Yes, at every turn. I own very few of your albums, but know so many of them.

A really enjoyable chart! Good reads and personal picks.
Some recommendations to give some more variety outside the top 300:
Sung Tongs by Animal Collective
Hypnotic UnderWorld by Ghost
Atrocity Exhibition by Danny Brown
Octopus by Gentle Giant
Future Days and Ege Bamyasi, both by Can
Some might suit you, some might not. Go figure!

Totally dig the comments, and also some fantastic picks. Haven't listened to Interpol in some time, gotta give TOTBL a listen now!

Definitely some records I wanna checkout on here. I don't care for Coldplay, Drake, Arcade Fire, or Linkin Park much. But even with that said we have 31 albums and 20 artists in common, so we have pretty similar taste. I'd let you have aux if we were driving in a car together, which I wouldn't allow many to do.

great chart! I like a ton of your picks yet also gleaned some stuff I'm gonna check out, and I love your album comments.
