Top 100 Music Albums of the 2010s by 
Purplepash 
Dominated by 2014 onwards as that was when I came out of the dark ages of purchased CDs and found subscription streaming services. This increased accessability allowed for so much more exploration and discoveries...and I love new fresh music so recent albums are always coming in.

Sometimes I think live music positively affects my appreciation of albums. I saw Grinderman live twice around the time of this album, and the first time I was in exactly the right frame of mind for this. I lost myself in the wizardry of Warren Ellis and the way him and Nick Cave, the showman, worked so perfectly together. It was such a memorable experience I can't help but be nearly taken back there every time. The second time live was just as good too! A short lived concept project but we got two great albums and some fantastic live performances so I'm not complaining.
10/10 song: Mickey Mouse and the Goodbye Man (sets up the album for a great example of what you are going to get), Heathen Child, & Kitchenette [First added to this chart: 06/03/2017]

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 has a Bayesian average rating of 86.7/100, a mean average of 87.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.5.
