Been updating this chart a lot more frequently recently and I think it reflects the music I like and listen to better than ever. My hope is that everyone who finds this chart will come away with at least one new album to enjoy.
I'm still in the process of adding notes to my picks, so bear with me!

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 91.6/100, a mean average of 93.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.7.

Just a shame that give up writing descriptions after the fifth one, great chart!
Paule 05/17/2019 09:57 | #236341
Awesome chart, we have lots in common!
ForegroundNoise 05/17/2019 08:05 | #236338
Really great mix of genres and time periods, plus I love the notes you've written so far. That Russian album is the only one not on my radar, will have to give it a listen!
DommeDamian 05/01/2018 19:34 | #213984
Great chart, but it's weird that this, with similars, misses Eminem
ForegroundNoise 05/01/2018 09:24 | #213967
Decided not to give a rating because you've said it's not finished, will check back in future!!

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 :(
