Comments will be added in Lockdown 2027!
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!

(846/9)
Released in 1991, it wasn’t until the late 90s when I, as a 16 year old, snuck into pubs and bars with fake ID before stumbling on to the last bus home to be serenaded to sleep by Blue Lines. It used to be my preventative hangover cure and I am still convinced that I’ve never woken up with a sore head after listening to all 45:04 of this brilliance before bedtime.
1. "Safe from Harm” ft. Shara Nelson - 99
2. "One Love" ft. Horace Andy - 91
3. "Blue Lines" - ft. Adrian Thaws (Tricky) - 92
4. "Be Thankful for What You've Got" - 93
5. "Five Man Army” - 97
6. "Unfinished Sympathy" ft. Shara Nelson - 98
7. "Daydreaming" ft. Tricky - 84
8. "Lately" ft. Shara Nelson - 96
9. "Hymn of the Big Wheel" ft. Neneh Cherry & Horace Andy - 94 [First added to this chart: 02/18/2020]

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 6% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.4/100, a mean average of 89.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.0.

Just my opinion, for what it’s worth, but I’d encourage you not to make this a custom chart. It’s one of the best overall charts on the site and having, for example, 5 albums by nick and the band in your chart just reflects how great they have been over a long career.

How do you rate songs on a scale of one hundred? Like what are your criteria?

Rating every single song in comments as a review is annoying, bro.
Bot type sh*t.

Can you stop putting your rating song after song on every album you get to impose your opinion? Limit yourself to a qualitative opinion.

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, maybe leans a little too heavily into certain artists but hey, that's cool. They're certainly artists that I love, particularly B&S.

I apparently need to fully get into and appreciate Belle and Sebastian. Good chart!
