Produced by Markus Dravs & Arcade Fire. You know a band has been on a great run when three albums in a row are debated as being their best. I love Funeral and Neon Bible, but The Suburbs is the one I always come back to. This was the first album of the 2010's to get my attention, and the one that's held it the longest so far. I love the sound of this band, and The Suburbs is the best of the three albums as far as songwriting, sound, and overall feel. This makes me want more Arcade Fire.

Produced by The Black Keys, Mark Neill and Danger Mouse. Taking a cue from excellent two piece bands Flat Duo Jets and The White Stripes, The Black Keys are more about the blues than their like instrumented brethren. Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney play off of each other perfectly, and their sound goes back to the sixties heyday of blues rock. Brothers is their best collection of songs...not a weak moment on this one, making it stand taller than the band's other albums. Blues is king, boys!

2010 – ATO
Produced By DAVID BARBE
1. Daddy Learned To Fly
2. The Fourth Night Of My Drinking
3. Birthday Boy
4. Drag The Lake Charlie
5. The Wig He Made Her Wear
6. You Got Another
7. This Fucking Job
8. Get Downtown
9. After The Scene Dies
10. (It’s Gonna Be) I Told You So
11. Santa Fe
12. The Flying Wallendas
13. Eyes Like Glue
Eight studio albums into their career, you would think that Drive-By Truckers would be starting to run out of gas. Maybe not running out yet, but the needle may be starting to dip just a bit. Not to say that The Big To-Do is bad by any means…there just may be a bit more filler than what we’re used to from the Truckers. But there are also plenty of great moments here as well. The album has recurring circus references, and is acknowledged as
having been recorded in the spirit of their respect for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, even employing a full time keyboard player. The bulk of the songwriting is handled here by Patterson Hood, as guitarist Mike Cooley contributes only three tracks (a surprising drop off for a guy who has been steadily growing over the years as a writer). Bassist Shonna Tucker contributes a pair of tracks as well. The rest is all Hood, and he does his very best to carry the load.
Hood’s best tracks here are “The Wig He Made Her Wear”, “The Fourth Night Of My Drinking”, and “Drag The Lake Charlie”. And “This Fucking Job” could be the anthem of the working man everywhere. Both of Tucker’s contributions are very good ("You Got Another” and “(It’s Gonna Be) I Told You So”). And Cooley steps in with one of his finest tunes, the rollicking “Get Downtown”, which ends up being the real highlight of the album. On The Big To-Do, the Truckers aren’t afraid of trying new things. They rock more here, and the songs are more present tense than ever before. The sessions resulted in 25 tracks being recorded, which they split between this album and its follow up, Go Go Boots. Maybe they could have taken the best from both albums and made one killer disc…but that’s their decision, not mine. Still…The Big To Do is a good time, which all Truckers albums should be. It’s not perfect, but still very, very good. [First added to this chart: 12/13/2011]

2010-HEAR
Produced By PETER ASHER
1. Blossom
2. So Far Away
3. Machine Gun Kelly
4. Carolina In My Mind
5. It’s Too Late
6. Smackwater Jack
7. Something In The Way She Moves
8. Will You Love Me Tomorrow
9. Country Road
10. Fire And Rain
11. Sweet Baby James
12. I Feel The Earth Move
13. You’ve Got A Friend
14. Up On The Roof
15. You Can Close Your Eyes
This live album from singer/songwriter icons Carole King and James Taylor was staged to commemorate a pair of historical dates. It marks the 50th anniversary of The Troubadour, the legendary Los Angeles music venue. It also marks the 40th anniversary of King and Taylor’s first shows at the club. Amazing to hear that 40 years later, the pair are still sounding so good. The original 1970 shows came about when Peter Asher convinced King to come out and perform on Taylor’s tour for the Sweet Baby James album. Actually, the band here is the entire original band from that tour. King began performing some of her own material, and the shared billing began. Taylor ended up with “You’ve Got A Friend”, written by King and in the end Taylor’s biggest hit.
While the pair may not be viewed as relevant today, this album is very fine. The performances are flawless. All of them. The banter with the crowd is interesting and (in Taylor’s case) funny. Great photos and liner notes are included as well. And, if that weren’t enough, a DVD of the show is also part of the package. King and Taylor swap songs like they are sitting in the living room instead of being on one of the great stages in rock & roll. King tells of writing in the 50;’s with Gerry Goffin, while Taylor details his story of being signed by The Beatles. Songs like “Smackwater Jack” and “I Feel The Earth Move” rock, while “Blossom” and “Sweet Baby James” still hold their beauty years later. This is, very simply, an excellent show in every way. Listen with the DVD for full effect…this is a gem. [First added to this chart: 05/23/2013]

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 79.5/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 20.4.

What's here is really good--particularly Southeastern and An Awesome Wave. I look forward to seeing this chart fully developed and fleshed out, as I'm sure there will be plenty of real gems here.

I have heard plenty of music from 2013. I reserve the right to not rate or rank it until I've heard it enough to be able to make an informed judgement. I don't feel the need to rush every album I've heard one time onto a chart. 2013 will be there when I feel like getting to it. And when I do get to it, I will have listened to the albums I decide to rate several times over...not just once on a crappy youtube upload.
