Eureka

Jim O'Rourke

Love the Artwork and the composition on this album. This kind of music isn't usually my favorite, but the approach and execution of this album is an exception. Lyrically it is very well versed and thought out. The addition of the fun and playful instrumentals makes it all stand out and so much easier to understand. I feel like it is pretty underrated.

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 91.2/100, a mean average of 91.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.4.

I prefer charts like this that have one album per artist - that canvas and recognise the musical genius across the decades, genres & nations. The comments on some of the album choices are 'gold' and the selections are deep & full of surprises.
I also like it that I have ZERO top 100 albums in common with this chart (not surprising as we are likely to be 2 generations apart in age) - but this chart will be my 'musical education' for the week!

Again stand by my last comment, adore this chart and your little write-ups. I've listened to a lot more stuff since last April however, so can give you a few 60s/70s recommendations that have an ahead-of-their-time quality you might enjoy:

The Red Krayola - The Parable Of Arable Land (1967)
The United States Of America - The United States Of America (1968)
Nico - Desertshore (1970)
Tangerine Dream - Zeit (1972)
Faust - Faust IV (1973)

I cringe a bit at your hiphop picks, but at least they’re there. Although I would deem Graduation far from Kanye’s greatest album, the best track on there is indeed ‘Flashing Lights’. Furthermore, your taste looks very Pitchfork, I would have loved to see more personality in your chart (aside from the Japanese picks). But not a bad list at all.
