Top 95 Greatest Music Albums
by

This chart is more like a "My Favourite (sucky) Albums", because even though I listen to a lot of music, my tastes aren't diverse enough to make a definitive "Greatest Music Albums".
I am not good at rating albums. I know if I like them or not, that's about it. Albums farther along in the chart most likely haven't been properly sorted yet.
Let the judgment commence.

People change, and times change. I think this album, apart from being a complete masterpiece, is a testament to that. I don't think I would have been interested in music like this only a short while ago.

Dark, raw, and powerful. If I had a physical copy of this album, I'm sure the edges would be jagged.

Sounds like it was recorded in a dream ... wonderfully atmospheric. It's a hard pick between EAHNPT, FTAI (love it), and TIALDFSWNTTA but as a compilation album I feel it captures early Modest Mouse very well. And I love it dearly.

What an album to fall asleep to this is... The opening track is by far my favourite, the rest of the album feels like it's coasting down from that.

Beautiful and painful. Every single song is amazing and worth listening to again after you finish the album. In fact, just listen to it again.

Here it is, the edgy teenager album, devastatingly pure anger in its fullness.

One of the most simple and beautiful albums I have listened to ... and every listen since the first has been just as powerful.

This album is a roller coaster of emotion. I just love it.

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 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.6/100, a mean average of 91.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.8.

Nice stuff! If you want something like Benji but 10x more intense, try A Crow Looked at Me by Mount Eerie

Ahhh another chart that displays a musical taste I influenced. Almost 50% of the albums here are also on my chart. Let me think about why that is. :P
