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 9% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.1/100, a mean average of 88.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.3.

Love the chart. Good mix of bands and genres. Good little footnotes as well
Great picks, love to see REM and Protomartyr on the same list. I'm probably echoing what others have said but there many amazing rock albums out of the 60s-70s. Also many great jazz albums out of the 50s-60s.

Great chart!
good chart,
i hope you can dig into 60s (john coltrane, beatles, velvet undergound, love, jimi hendrix, beach boys )
and the 70s (pink floyd, led zeppelin, neil young, genesis, stevie wonder, marvin gaye, supertramp, joy division)
gidgidi 08/13/2019 18:08
This is great!

Some really great picks here, love pretty much all of these albums personally. My only suggestion is to explore a bit more from the 60s and 70s as you continue to fill this out, as there's some truly amazing albums/artists to be found there.
DommeDamian 09/30/2018 09:49
Great chart, full of excellent albums. My suggestions:
-Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP (basically any Eminem album outside of Revival, Encore, and Relapse). - I saw you love Kendrick, so...
-P.M. Dawn - of The Heart of The Soul And of The Cross: The Utopian Experience (icy rap album full of introspective, philosophical lyrics - and nothing less of a eminent album to play in the winter).
-Soundgarden - Superunknown (grunge rock about depression, at its finest).
-The Calling - Camino Palmero (simply a worthwile rock album, jampacked of quintessential subjects)
-Coldplay - A Rush of Blood To The Head / X&Y (anyone with Interpol's debut on their list, needs to listen to these two classics. And oppositely).
PS: Your descriptions are very nice. Check out my chart! =)
