There are few things as magical as driving through a big city whilst listening to this album. It is an absolute metropolitan slab of garage perfection. The end of Shell of Light is musical bliss, one of the most cathartic moments I’ve ever had listening to music. [First added to this chart: 11/04/2015]

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.8/100, a mean average of 92.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.7.

As already mentioned, a unique chart and a distinctive feel to it. I like it
I like this chart a lot. There is a uniquely special feeling when you discover an artist (or 2) that flies under the radar of commercial success and hits at the heartstrings in a uniquely personal way. This chart is full of such artists/albums ¬ and well worth a deep dive rather than a cursory glance.
The Australian album in this list - Go Further Into Darkness - is well worth a listen. Of the 2 albums we have in common, this is one of them.

Great and unique and individual chart with some really intriguing recommendations.
StefanR10 11/12/2020 18:44
Very interesting choice it is a good chart with underrated pearls.
Most interesting list. 90% of artists I know nothing about

One of my favorite spiritual guidance in the internet is this chart right here. King.
DommeDamian 11/11/2020 11:48
I will now listen to that Zach Bryan album.
doubleA 04/04/2020 09:19
Holy shit what an absolutely bananas list. It goes fucking everywhere and never stops to... Impress? Like, I feel in a way that this many obscure picks would feel forced, as if it's trying too hard to be special, but in a way I also feel it's all coming from a genuine place. Nonetheless, props to you! This'll definitely be my go-to place for when I need some new stuff to listen to.
Also, amongst everything, mad respect to someone with แห่สดดนตรีพื้นบ้านหนองโก ชุดที่ 8 + 9 in their chart. I salute you.

The Year Of Hibernation!!!
This is a really cool chart, I love a lot of these artists, gotta say your hip hop picks shock me though. Lil Peep made the best hip hop album ever? But hey, its a personal list so I digress. Great choices overall

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 :(
