This chart is currently filtered to only show albums from Nyck Caution. (Remove this filter)
This is without a doubt one of the best hip-hop records I've heard this year. Nyck Caution blends excellent songwriting with great production to make an exceptionally memorable album. Production-wise, there's a lot, from traditional-style beats to melodic hooks, strings, and spacey synths, there's a lot of variety that keeps you interested. Along with that are Nyck Caution's fantastic and poignant lyircs, with the highlight coming from "Out of Reach", a song that takes the listener through the mind of the friends of a guy who committed suicide (referencing the suicide of Capital Steez). It's brutally honest and heart-wrenching, as Caution details his thoughts on his friend's suicide:
Shit I thought you were a legend
And of course you manifested what you thought and I admire that
I was denying that it happened till they fired back
And everybody had a question which required that
The truth be spoken
But I ain't even accept it, how we supposed to be progressive when our roots are broken
Yo, and you know Id give you all of me
I swear that old fucking milk couldn't spoil me
Imma always ride with you, 'til the day I lie with you
That's called loyalty
It's beautiful stuff, and he delivers it really well. It's an album that you will fixate on, both the music and the lyrics, and it's a great hip-hop album. [First added to this chart: 03/28/2016]

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 93.2/100, a mean average of 95.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 96.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.7.

Comprehensive, detailed, varied. It boggles my mind how a single person can know a year so intimately. This is more than just an assembled list; each album has clearly been given due attention before its placement. There's just the right balance of familiar and obscure too, a surprise from someone whose overall chart has a fair bit of classic rock. This might as well be from a one-man music publication - I'll be sure to pay your charts more attention in future!

This is great, I love the fact that you rate acclaimed and famous albums and the unknown ones the same. I hope to learn from your charts since I've never heard about a bit portion of stuff here.

There are a lot of fantastic albums on this chart, and a lot that I have to go listen to. Based on the albums that I have listened to on this chart, I'm excited to check out the other bands listed.

"This is an album that sounds like maybe it's at peace with itself" - probably because it's Richmond Fontaine final album? :F

There's a lot here for me to look into, and already a bit I disagree with. Seems like it could be particularly interesting how this shifts as the second half of the year comes through. Will be looking through this lots.

y r u so smrat :'(
I was originally rating this so you could eventually rate my 2016 chart, but your comments once again show that I'm not worthy. Amazing job, Rocky, especially as your picks are just as extraordinary as what you write about them.
