who starts work each morning as soon as he can.
From a quarter past six until two o’clock he’s
writing tales about witches, hobgoblins and fairies." - Schmidt [First added to this chart: 08/22/2016]

now strong, now weak,
sounding rather solemn,
rather wild.
A child coming home from school
runs past me, laughing with delight;
a handful of coloured paper scraps
at once dances through the air
while the wind goes on whistling . . .
Suddenly, I feel an inexpressible joy:
my black hair
is ruffled in the wind,
is singing in the wind." - Xiaoni [First added to this chart: 02/10/2021]

To preserve, till the end of time and heavens,
Sunthorn the scribe who belongs
To the King of the White Elephant." - Phu [First added to this chart: 11/22/2018]

In the orchard trees
Poor autumn
Dead in whiteness and riches
Of snow and ripe fruits." - Apollinaire [First added to this chart: 03/23/2018]

far off in the forest or close to the road;
in the mission’s mausoleum, among the many termite mounds.
And where they slept we’re afraid to pass at night.
I cry for Namagondo, where I was born,
where I was born between earth and sky." - Kazilahabi [First added to this chart: 08/22/2016]

frees me, moves me,
as a strong river carries a weed.
Earth and her strong winds
move me, take me away,
and my soul is swept up in joy." - Uvavnuk [First added to this chart: 04/01/2019]

has washed me
ashore.
Out of earshot." - Sigurdsson [First added to this chart: 01/04/2019]

But when the bath was filled we found a fur,
A rat-grey fungus, glutting on our cache.
The juice was stinking too. Once off the bush
The fruit fermented, the sweet flesh would turn sour.
I always felt like crying. It wasn't fair
That all the lovely canfuls smelt of rot.
Each year I hoped they'd keep, knew they would not." - Heaney [First added to this chart: 11/12/2019]

Her widow's lament at the south of the islet
It's Diana of the barracks yard
Too short a dream
Dawn and lanterns barely extinguished
We are awakening
A tattered fanfare." - Cocteau [First added to this chart: 05/22/2018]

she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow and stir by still
anyone's any was all to her." - Cummings [First added to this chart: 08/22/2016]

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 93.6/100, a mean average of 97.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 99.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.5.

Incredible chart......I think. Don't know many of these, but weird and strange is right up my alley, so will investigate thoroughly.

Found this chart via Itoh Masyitoh & Rineka Swara's Naon Margina. Only familiar with a handful of albums on this list, but what I do know is entrancing. Can't wait to dive in!

Awesome! This is right up my alley, as someone always on the look out for weird obscure stuff. I've added it to my favourites, looking forward to checking a bunch of them out.
Tha1ChiefRocka 10/13/2018 02:29
Juggalos? In the Netherlands? In 1971!?!
The ICP Orchestra sounds interesting.
