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 90.7/100, a mean average of 90.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.1.

Interesting chart that I enjoyed checking out. Somewhat surprised to see no albums listed from after 2006, but I can appreciate the uniqueness of your musical journey.

like it.
Very nice chart indeed
DommeDamian 04/07/2021 08:59
all u need is descriptions and this chart is imo, top-notch!
Very nice. The atmopheric side of Scaruffi, plus many interesting adds.
This is it, this is the stuff right here! Tons of my favorites and very sweet obscure picks. RIP Daniel Johnston. 1990 is probably my favorite by him, too.
Love the variety. Grabbed a random album to listen to. #43 - Suicide by Suicide. Never heard it before, but judging from some of your other faves, I’m guessing it’s going to be really good!
ForegroundNoise 09/22/2019 08:43
Really love this chart - such a great mix of experimental rock, folk, and contemporary classical. Some notes would push this up to a perfect score for me.
Jameth 09/22/2019 08:35
I’m also biased to the 60s and 70s, but even I can scrape up more than one post-2000 album for an overall chart. You should work on that.
The Marble Index is slowly becoming one of my favorite albums, and I agree that it’s better than Desertshore.
Based on your other picks, I’m surprised that Pink Flag is your Wire choice, over Missing Chairs or 154.
I first heard of Demetrio Stratos literally today (or since I last slept, anyways), so thanks for reinforcing my decision to check him out. Ditto for John Cage’s Indeterminacy!

thank you for your comment. Your list is very inspiring too. Much sense of discovery, I think I'll pick some suggestion form your list.
23 albums in common! Quite rare!
Off course I know the great Nick Drake, I like all of his three albums, but I can't say I truely love him. Your besteveralbum probably is my favourite by him (:

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
