Top 95 Greatest Music Albums
by Daffeinatek

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. [First added to this chart: 11/24/2015]

Dark, raw, and powerful. If I had a physical copy of this album, I'm sure the edges would be jagged. [First added to this chart: 05/19/2015]

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. [First added to this chart: 11/24/2015]

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. [First added to this chart: 07/01/2015]

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. [First added to this chart: 05/19/2015]

Rating metrics: Help 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 90.0/100, a mean average of 91.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.9/100. 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
