I know I have a lot of Radiohead but it's hard to justify many albums over top tier Radiohead of floyd.

I listened to this and OK Computer for the first time in one sitting. I liked OK Computer despite thinking Thom's voice was annoying. However, I didn't care for this album at all, I wasn't sure how it was music. I checked out Radiohead as Rolling Stone ranked Kid A as the best album of the 2000's and upon first listen I thought they were just being ridiculous Rolling Stone.

Finally it clicked. This album is like no other in my opinion. There is a clear story in this album despite what Yorke might say. Try to really delve into the lyrics. The song "Kid A" is the biggest give-away. "We've got heads on sticks and you've got ventriloquists," is essentially the story. The album creates a cold ambiance to enforce lyrics that depict an Orwellian future where individuality and freedom are suppressed. You realize that we are in the future that OK Computer warned about. The album reflects an elite class pulling the strings of history and providing "fodder for the animals, living on animal farm." (direct Orwell reference)


The emotions of the album can be cut with a knife. The experimentation and boldness of the album is unsurpassed. The lyrics, if you ignore Yorke's misinformation, create a hauntingly disturbing but unfortunately true picture of our world.

Radiohead would be the best artist of the 2000's if they only released this album. This album is the 2000's and beyond.

Favorite Tracks: Everything in it's Right Place, Kid A, How to Disappear Completely, Optimistic, Idioteque [First added to this chart: 09/05/2017]

The hair on my neck stands up every time I hear the opening line of Tunnels. It's funny how the first song on Arcade Fire's debut is still the best song they've ever written.

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 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.7/100, a mean average of 90.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.8.

I'd already left a rating but since it's chart of the day I thought I'd leave a comment too.
Such an amazing chart, I forgot how personal your notes were too so I've upped the rating to 95/100. Great inclusions of classic rock alongside hip hop that's great to see.
Fantastic stuff!!
