The albums title is a reference to the yellow guitar of frontman Stu Mackenzie, which is, like every other instrument on here, is microtonaly tuned. Microtunal chords fuck up the common Western sound scale, so the result would usually sound extremely experimental. But King Gizz implemented the microtonal tuning so good into this album that it contributes to their usual psychedelia by making it even more Middle Eastern and Oriental sounding.

I would lie if I would describe Brockhampton as the decade's most beloved boyband. Well, they surely were Fantano's most beloved boyband: 7 dudes with different flows and a knack of Kanye. Their saturation trilogy in 2017 gave us banger after banger, most of them on their second effort.

LCDs comeback record is vibrant and exactly what I want to hear from James Murphy. The overall tone is less electronic and more sinister than 10 years ago, with more post punky influences, which suits the band well. Contrary to the title, the sound is more European then ever on this album.

I'm in love with Florence. Saw her on a festival stage in TV and she's like a hippie hurricane. Although her debut album will forever be her best, the hits on this album are nontheless the sound of spring, compressed into music. The best (indie) pop singer songwriter around the start of the 10s - hands down!

Stretching the classic indie folk by enriching it with more complex song structures, Helplessness Blues is like an folk orchestra, instrumental precision on tunes of longing (even the upbeat songs thrieve with melancholy). The soundtrack to reading a book while it's raining outside.

I've once read: "Thom Yorke could take a shit in the studio and record it and fand and music critics would still love it." It's kind of true. Not to say that AMSP is shit in any way, I really enjoy the introverted, eerie orchestral sound. But I also remember the sheer hype for this release, the otherworldly ratings on this site. Radiohead are way past their peak - but I no other band that could still put out such good records way past their peak!

I'm still waiting for the perfect Editors record. It's frustating that their most mainstream record is their best within this decade. This also is their most alternative rock record, which actually suits Tom Smith's baritone voice really well... but can we have The Back Room back?

Moody electronic melodies and continuous beats, especially on the latter half, with hypnotising jazz instrumentation and characteristics make BBNG's first entirely self-written album the perfect gateway drug into the genre of the connoisseures.

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 90.3/100, a mean average of 92.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.7.
