Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by ShadowColossi

Ok so I rate albums as follows:
I basically just write down all the songs, rank them from 1-5*, and then add up all the *s, / the max number of stars. For example:
Pink Floyd Animals
Pigs on the Wing pt. 1 - *****
Dogs- *****
Pigs- *****
Sheep- *****
Pigs on the Wing pt. 2- *****
25/25=10.0

This chart is a constant work in process- it's very possible it may change multiple times a day. I'm always listening to new music and my opinions on certain albums are also due to change over time- So I apologize if you liked my chart a way it was before, but they're all there anyways. I just like to keep it up to date for my tastes at the moment.

I judge music by complexity and creativity in songwriting, as well as uniqueness. So when something strikes me as well written, complex music with a unique sound, it's bound to one of my favorites. I also believe emotion is a huge thing for music, some songs portray it so well it can make you feel the same way. Anyways, enjoy my chart! Recommendations are ALWAYS welcome :)
Also, I make music and would love if you checked it out!

Punk Rock / Indie Rock / Emo-ish

Always my angry album- I don't know why. Ok maybe I do. And Maybe I'll tell you.
It's chop full of hooks, and every track has a chance to be your favorite if you let it. "Wasted Days" is an 8-minute full-throtle punk song that mutates into an ugly ferocious jam by the end of it's run time. "Fall In", and "Stay Useless" are songs that you could sing along with at any time of the day, anywhere. "No Future/No Past" is a depressing number, but a good one nonetheless, as well as "Cut You" and "No Sentiment". I didn't have this one so high before mostly out of reluctance, but I'm putting it up here now. I just did a whole "re-ranking" of my albums (I have a fucking 280+ album spreadsheet with all the albums I have liked enough to make note of) track-by-track, and track-by-track, this record is astounding. Great punk record with an emo touch, and just so goddamn angry at everything that is going wrong. And as much as I like to contain and hide all of my anger- this album lets me get it all out, screaming the lyrics if I ever have it playing in the car.

Punk Rock / Indie Rock / Emo

I find it funny that Dylan Baldi claimed this was a "cherrier" release than Attack on Memory. I mean, it has the same grayscale effect on the album cover, this time DARKER, and they added another pound of fuzz on top of their guitars. The drums are faster, the screaming is more often, and the changes in tempo also receive a boost. I mean, sure "I'm Not Part of Me" is a "hey that break-ups not that bad, cheer up, fuck that bitch" kind of song, but the rest of the album is not cheery. "Now Here In" tells you that right off the bat. It features hateful lyrics such as "I can feel you're pain, and I feel alright about it", and him repeated screaming the word "swallow" with increasing volume.
But sure, Dylan, it's a "cheery" record.

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 92.7/100, a mean average of 92.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.5.

@dexme: I don’t understand your comment at all: he only rated a couple of hundreds of albums, he’s chosen some fairly non standard albums albums for this top chart and he wouldn’t go into the trouble to write these long personal comments on his top albums if he was only after the points: for me this chart and the comment that go with it is a winner.

Your chart sucks. It only has popular albums. Stop ratings albums just because you want points. How dare you.

Great chart, I can see mine looking a bit like this in a year's time. By the way, the track on Blonde on Blonde is "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again", not "the Texas Blues".
