NB. This is still a work in progress
Comments will be added in Lockdown 2024!
Will eventually make this a custom chart and will make it one artist per chart, to reduce the amount of Belle & Sebastian, Radiohead and Nick Cave!

The closest anyone has got to album perfection. Even my least favourite track (Faust Arp) is still a strong effort.
I never expected any band to match OK Computer. It’s only in the past 18 months that my preference for In Rainbows has now usurped their 1997 effort. I’m more likely to reach for In Rainbows. OK Computer remains a wonderful relic. In Rainbows has more of a timeless grace.
1. "15 Step" – 97
2. "Bodysnatchers" – 98
3. "Nude" - 97
4. "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" - 99
5. "All I Need" - 93
6. "Faust Arp" - 86
7. "Reckoner" - 100
8. "House of Cards" - 89
9. "Jigsaw Falling into Place” - 98
10. "Videotape" - 98 [First added to this chart: 02/24/2020]

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 90.0/100, a mean average of 91.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.0.

Great to see a fellow Nick Cave fan
Absolutely adore this chart. Just a suggestion but I think that you should leave the chart as it is rather than one entry per artist. If this is your top 100 albums ever, I'd keep it at that.
Great Chart. Love the forensic level of rating.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

Great chart, maybe leans a little too heavily into certain artists but hey, that's cool. They're certainly artists that I love, particularly B&S.
ExTeaSea 01/12/2021 02:31
I apparently need to fully get into and appreciate Belle and Sebastian. Good chart!
Larcx13 10/23/2020 10:16
Interesting choices!
sssvnnn 03/24/2020 11:28
good start.

Are you named after Lilian?
Good top three, either way. And a particularly great number one.
