Such an emotional and beautiful album. Every song is a waterfall of emotions dropped out of nick drake's soul. It's a ride (a free ride) along our emotions, at least for me, carrying me throughout my deepest feelings.

Fittier Happiers ruins the album. Is that track bad? No. Simply it's a track that doesn't fits with the rest of songs.

I may be seen as a moron for saying this, but I consider this album a modern Pink Moon. Sufjan shows us the happenings of his childhood with his mother and the things that happened because of her leaving. The album touchs my hearth, Sufjan's voice gets so emotional and deep making of this album a modern masterpiece.

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 10% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.8/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.2.

Hey, I wanted to apologize for being so harsh in your Judah & The Lion thread the other day. I'm not going to deny that I really hate that sort of indie-folk (I actually have a lot of friends from Nashville who are obsessed with the band and have met them personally), but it was wrong of me to accuse you of spamming when you were just trying to share an artist that meant a lot to you.
Also, don't take my low rating of this chart personally. I think there could be more unique picks here, but the rating has no standing on how I view you as a person.
Hope this helps :)

The Smiths for some reason doesn't belong here, the rest is good overall.
And how Billy Corgan's annoying voice saved your life?

Excellent chart descriptions, albeit I think you are too cocksure and objectifying in your descriptions.
But you clearly state your knowledge surrounding the entries in which you put in an effort to describe them, and would have loved to see more of those in your chart.
