Fading Parade 
United States Papercuts
Buy album United States
"Albums this special only come along once in a while, how it's managed to remain relatively ignored since it's release is criminal. What does it sound like? Imagine the Mama's & the Papa's or the Loving Spoonfull jamming with Slowdive and your nearly there, and yes it does sound better than that. A forgotten classic, Fading Parade's seamless dream-pop updates classic West Coast psychedelia for the 2010's." February 2011 [First added to this chart: 01/03/2012]

Days 
United States Real Estate

"Like many of the dream-pop bands of their ilk Real Estate make albums where no particular song radically departs from the other. Instead, Days byrdsian jangle prefers to paint an evocative all-encompassing mood. That being said each song has it's merits playing it's part in the rich tapestry intricately woven by the band."

Rating metrics: Help 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 86.1/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.4.

OK, so why have I included so many Perfume Genius lps? Well, I think this guy is great and he’s been consistently excellent with each release. Definitely one of the best artists of the 10’s. Give him a chance you might be pleasantly surprised.

I wasn't personally a big fan of your overall chart, and though maybe I don't agree with many of the picks (four PG albums and a total absence of hip hop are my main gripes) the inclusion of the mini reviews are a joy to read. Great stuff!!

very nice approach, though I feel that 4 albums of Perfect Genius is a bit exaggerate !!
