Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
Strangel 
These albums are my favourites. This is not meant to be a 'Greatest Album's' chart, although I would strongly argue for each of my chosen albums in being considered for a greatest albums list. My interest is more toward the alternative/indie and electronic genres with a tendency toward experimentation in the music. I also need to be able to comfortably immerse myself in the music. So while I appreciate, and want to explore the work of Autechre (for example), I get far more pleasure from listening to Burial which has more reverie to the sound rather than almost pure math and tech. Aphex Twin, in fact, manages to bridge these aspects perfectly.
It might be noted that Radiohead dominates the list which simply expresses my belief that they have the uncanny ability to release album after album of near perfect alternative music, shifting the landscape of what's possible whilst always remaining relevant. I don't apologise for this. They are that good.

This is a massively underrated album. It's definitely a grower and deserves headphone immersion to appreciate the genius in the composition and layering of sounds. It needs to be properly reviewed only after listening to it at least a dozen or so times. A review on first listen is an injustice. The song Amok, for example continues to grow on me and I've listened to it many many times. Let go of your Radiohead prejudices and listen with brand new ears. The term 'supergroup' irks me a little but this band is comprised of super-musicians who undoubtedly dedicated to the art of progressive composition. The contributions of Mauro Refosco and Joey Waronker is probably overlooked a bit but they are critical to the intricacy of the sound here. The interwoven rhythm/percussion, Yorke electronica, and understated Flea bass, makes for a sonic exploration every time you return to the album. Probably my favourite recent album.
Rating: 97/100
ALBUM HIGHLIGHT: For me it's probably the title track Amok. At first it seems a simple little closing track. After some listens you realise that there are many intricacies. Eventually you nod your head at how all the components that generate from previous layers of silence somehow, inexplicably work as a whole, fitting in just as they should. Other songs such as Default show this same mastery but Amok does it for me due to the subtleties.
Another highlight is the use of Yorke's voice on this album. It plays with his ethereal qualities as his voice comes at you from a distance, in the background, before moving to the foreground or supporting his own main vocal. The opening and closings tracks both demonstrate this personal highlight. [First added to this chart: 07/05/2016]

If you've grown up with Radiohead, following their progress as a band, you are incredibly fortunate. Their evolution, and willingness to continuously expand their creative output, has meant that the anticipation of what their next LP has to offer is a truly incredible journey for a fan to be on. AMSP's bones are structurally provided by many years of Thom Yorke's musical doodling but the sound is magnificently filled out by Johnny Greenwood's orchestral compositions while the other band member's contribute in their usually understated way to provide another classic album.

This fantastic album is like a maths lesson for your subconscious, delivered by a digital lecturer with a good sense of rhythm and abstract time signatures. It is a piece of electronic art that is only held back by its tendency to jolt you too far out of your comfort zone at times requiring you to take the occasional breather. After a few listens you begin to appreciate the melodic genius that shines through the intricacy of the work. This is where the accessibility of James’ work makes it more appealing to me than Autechre. To be able to make complex electronic art less cold to the listener is what makes him a bit of a genius in my opinion.

This album has entered my list at the expense of Burial’s EPs on their own which gives me room to add other deserving albums. I want to highlight Kindred and Truant/Rough Sleeper as the 2 EPs on this compilation that tower above the others. They have so much to offer the avid, immersive listener of electronic music. They really do seem to tell a story, but not the same story. There is always a new story floating throughout with each new listen.
As the English writer Mark Fisher so evocatively puts it;
“Burial's London is a wounded city, populated by ecstasy casualties on day release from psychiatric units, disappointed lovers on night buses, parents who can't quite bring themselves to sell their Rave 12 inches at a carboot sale, all of them with haunted looks on their faces, but also haunting their interpassively nihilistic kids with the thought that things weren't always like this. It is like walking into the abandoned spaces once carnivalised by Raves and finding them returned to depopulated dereliction. Muted air horns flare like the ghosts of Raves past. Broken glass cracks underfoot. MDMA flashbacks bring London to unlife in the way that hallucinogens brought demons crawling out of the subways in Jacob’s Ladder’s New York. Audio hallucinations transform the city’s rhythms into inorganic beings, more dejected than malign. You see faces in the clouds and hear voices in the crackle. What you momentarily thought was muffled bass turns out only to be the rumbling of tube trains”.
Some of the purely ambient tracks kick off this album which makes for a long intro to the subtle beats of my preferred tracks and prevent the album from being a top 10 contender for me. [First added to this chart: 01/23/2024]

I've read some reviews describing this album as lacking in warmth, or too distant from their roots as a 5-piece rock outfit, or too much of a Thom Yorke project. Yet, I truly find KoL to be an incredibly intimate album that rewards full immersion with headphones. It is also a real tribute to the artistic flexibility of each member to be able to work so cohesively to enhance each track with their more subtle contributions. Much like with In Rainbows, The King of Limbs shines in their 'Live From the Basement' session. Watch the YouTube recording of this session to see just how brilliant these tracks really are. You'll come away with a whole new respect for what they have created. Once viewing this you realise that it is a mistake to think that much of the album as 'just' electronic. Instead it is driven by a cohesive, percussive tapestry. It is an album that showcases rhythm as its driving influence.
Sure, it suffers a little for not having the 'fullness' of sound that they are capable of but I just love their willingness to explore new territory. I find myself returning to this album time and again on my train commute as it works so well when closing out the world around.
Rating: 95/100
ALBUM HIGHLIGHTS: For sheer transcendent beauty; Codex, which needs more recognition as a Radiohead classic.
For the audiophiles who love masterful layers of cacophonous instrumentation; Bloom - it will have your mind swirling. [First added to this chart: 07/05/2016]

I had been lamenting the fact that I was seeking, yet struggling to find, electronic artists that could have me completely hooked like Burial, Aphex Twin, and Four Tet. These 3 artists had given me a slight addiction to electronic music which had grown, firstly, from my experience of the UK rave scene at the turn of the century, and the fascination with Thom Yorke's experimental forays. Where were the artists that churned out consistently brilliant albums, perhaps displaying a touch of genius in their art? Most albums I delved into were inconsistent or had sections I could easily skip.
But then I stumbled across Immunity while exploring the Metacritic website and was intrigued by the overwhelmingly positive reviews. It grabbed me immediately with its driving baselines and the sizzling, fizzing electronic beats that have you immediately in the zone. It's as if you take off on a journey into outerspace, not in a rocket, but a smooth moving aircraft that breaks through the earth's atmosphere at the midpoint of the album when track 5, Abandon Window, gently appears and you can shut off the engines and drift through space and into a sublime orbit as Form By Firelight, the 6th track takes over. Throughout the album Hopkins has managed to conjure an otherworldly ambience that brings me back to the album whenever I am looking for a complete disengagement from the rat-race.
I have listened to Hopkins' earlier stuff and he seems to be evolving his sound more and more which makes me eager to hear what he produces in future releases.

Alt J were a real breath of fresh air when they came along with this unique piece of art-folk-indy-a capella-whateverelse. Listened to it daily on my train commute whilst I was reading Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. Now, whenever I hear a song off the album it takes me back to a scene from the book. The songs are real ear-worms and it's very easy to return to the album time and again.
Rating: 93/100
ALBUM HIGHLIGHT: There's something alluring about the quirky nature of the musicianship. It's unconventional without being messy, cluttered, or distracting, and never loses its catchiness. Fitzpleasure and Breezeblocks capture this best I reckon. [First added to this chart: 07/05/2016]

Art rock done extremely well. Two notable things to this album;
1) It has very engaging atmospherics ranging from distantly dreamy to psychedelically fuzzy with it's layers of guitar coming to the fore in certain songs.
2) It is a complete album of exceptional songs without a filler or mediocre moment.
It's also lyrically elusive in a good way. Bradford Cox's vocals seem a half dimension away. I was lucky enough to see them play in support of this album in a small intimate venue and they impressed with their stage presence.

...and yet another Yorke appearance in my chart. Well, what can I say other than I’m very pleased with the fact. Every time I hear of a Yorke release I’m hoping it’s of a standard to challenge his very best... and Anima doesn’t disappoint. Unlike his previous solo release, this album is consistently engaging, emotionally charged, and tunefully catchy, song after song after song. I think he’s properly refined his solo style now to step out of the Radiohead expectation-shadow that looms over his every artistic movement.
RATING: 91/100
ALBUM HIGHLIGHT: Dawn Chorus is too immediate in its attraction for me to singularly point it out as the highlight as most reviewers are. I like the tracks that seep in slowly and capture your attention when you least expect it. At the point of writing this the track ‘Twist’ has serenaded my subconscious particularly its late-song transition which sweeps in on the back of some breezy synths and breaks out with foreboding lyrical imagery of an empty car in the woods with the motor left running.

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 5% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.7/100, a mean average of 86.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 17.2.

Good list! We share the Radiohead "problem". I suggest you to dive into some older Krautrock and Ambient music. You will find a lot of Radioheads work is influenced by that stuff and there are some gems to be found.

I find your chart very interesting and complete. You have musical tastes very similar to mine. Radiohead is one of my favorite bands!
I'm glad you like Icelandic music: Sigur Rós and Björk. I agree with you that "Vespertine" is Björk's best album: It's a real masterpiece. You put a lot of recent music in your chart and it's nice to see AMOK of Atoms For Peace in your rankings. This is surely one of Thom Yorke's underrated albums. I'm really happy to see artists not very well known as Burial, Nick Cave or Amon Tobin who are part of my favorite artist. The 90s are really well represented in your chart with great artists like Nirvana, Aphex Twin, Tool or Massive Attack. Really very good job and very good choice!

Ahh well, what can you do? They're that good. It's not like Pablo Honey is on the chart just coz Radiohead. Pablo Honey was an objectively average to good album and thus hasn't got anywhere near this chart. Their subsequent albums were all objectively created to a much higher level and the artistic merit of each universally critically acclaimed. Subjectively (which is what this chart mainly expresses), the music deeply resonates with me so why wouldn't their very best be difficult to supplant by another artist's work?
