She'll remember all the things you said."

"I guess you bit off a little more than you could chew.
So you choked, sitting still in the waiting room.
It's a shame that the hospital couldn't fix something like that.
A lack of courage, a father gives his son to the past."

Average Rating = (n ÷ (n + m)) × av + (m ÷ (n + m)) × AVwhere:

n = number of ratings an item has currently received.
m = minimum number of ratings required for an item to appear in a 'top-rated' chart (currently 10).
AV = the site mean average rating.

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 has a Bayesian average rating of 84.3/100, a mean average of 83.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.9.

Very good list but you should listen to some older music, there is a lot to discover!! Maybe try some Nick Lowe or Big Star ;)

Any chart that has Seahaven in the top 10 is awesome to me. You're getting my first ever 100 chart rating sir. It seems like we listen to essentially the same music. Very cool, keep up the good listens.

I haven't delved into newer pop punk enough to fully appreciate what's here, but I've always really enjoyed Brand New, Panic! At The Disco, Fun's first album, etc, so I can't say I'm opposed to the genre by any means. Rock Band kind of kickstarted my obsession with music, so I completely understand what you're talking about in the comments.
You should know that there's much more to my chart than Interpol! Try Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust by Sigur Rós for that strong emotion and beautiful sound—and if you want some serious mind-blow material listen to Sing To God by Cardiacs. It's a crazy album worth hundreds of listens. Pure energy hiding incredibly catchy melodies and powerful emotions. Try it, and don't listen to the people who dismiss it as weird—they have no idea what they're missing out on. Okay, the second track is weird. But you know what I mean.

Definitely felt very personal, didn't incredibly diverse, but not too similar either, overall it's a good chart

Found this list looking at From Indian Lakes who have made two of my favorite albums. I also really like some of these and just recently got into bands on here like Foxing, Moose Blood, and Knuckle Puck. I guess I'll have to check some of these other albums out! Nice list!
