Top 50 Greatest Music Albums by 
micah88800 
These are albums I have spent literally years of my life obsessing over, so this chart is obviously subjective. Still, they are albums I believe are of the highest possible quality. I'm going to attempt to write a small review/comment on every album and what it means to me. I've noticed some of these albums having aged a bit for me, so I'm going to start updating this more often to reflect my current tastes.

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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.7/100, a mean average of 92.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.9.

We have a lot in common! The National and Vampire Weekend are certainly two of my favorite artists of this generation!

absolute 100/100.
Loved your list. Good job!
I love some of these albums, overall it does seem a bit bland to me though. Very good #1.

Yes ! If I Should Fall From The Grace Of God is a modern classic and the most interesting album here , other wise it’s a fairly standard list

Fantastic picks, love the number one!
Good chart although a bit too one-dimensional... (Maybe check out my charts?)
