Sound poetry is one of my all-time favorite genres, and this is one of its pinnacles, to the point where I sampled the amazing track “Dutiful Ducks” at the end of my debut feature The Squish Trilogy. [First added to this chart: 01/20/2020]

Possibly my favorite music book of all time, Ben Ratliff’s “Every Song Ever: 20 Ways To Listen in an Age of Musical Plenty”, argues that chopped and screwed is almost like a postmodern version of the blues. If that’s true, then this is almost the American primitivism of that postmodern blues. [First added to this chart: 12/08/2018]

GFOTY is one of my absolute favorite artists. I’ve absorbed every piece of her discography over the years because of the way both her mixes and singles feel so simultaneously high-octane and conceptually hilarious. [First added to this chart: 05/07/2018]

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 79.1/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 24.8.

I have mixed feelings about charts like this. Yes they are very useful for flagging up overlooked albums that may be worth looking at, albums that are not widely known. These charts usually get a high score from other users for being different and interesting. But should they appear on a Greatest Albums list and count towards the greatest overall chart? The prime (but obviously not only) objective of this site is to identify the greatest albums ever recorded (I believe) and boring as it may seem 'Greatest Charts' without any conventional choices should be regarded with caution. I love charts such as this, but they should be titled something like 'Greatest albums you should listen to because I think they're great'. But I'm very aware that many users only look at the Top 100 Greatest charts, so the only way to get noticed is to create them as 'Top 100 Greatest' charts. A quandary.

What a weird and eccentric chart. I mean that as the highest compliment, I think more charts should strive for this rather than regurgitating canon picks. I like that you've got some really corny pop in there right up alongside artsy stuff - you're right, life should have both! Great work, I'll be checking some of these albums out!

Morton Feldman just barely edging out Avril Lavigne in the top 10 is the best postmodern provocation I've ever seen around here.

loads of great music (and some uh less great music imho) but more than that just consistently the most perplexing chat on BEA. at a certain point I just have to respect the audacity of it all. 2 hours of fart sounds? punk af

I'd love to read your words and thoughts of these albums. But man, I hope you know how inspirational it is for you to dare showing off your controversial picks (like Soulja Boy being the highest ranked rapper) - big respect your way!
