My final days in company.
The devil now has come for me,
and helicopters circling the scene.
And I pray for rest,
could you pray for us?
We know he loves you the best

We gather medicine for heartache,
so we can act a fool.
It's incomplete without you.
The silver soul is running through;
it's a vision, complete illusion, yeah. [First added to this chart: 02/20/2012]

So it is storming on the lake;
little waves, our bodies break.
There's a fire going out,
but there's really nothing to the south.
Swollen orange and light let through,
your one piece swimmer stuck to you. [First added to this chart: 02/20/2012]

You might think you've peeped the scene
You haven't,
The real one is far to mean
The wattered down, the one you know
Was made up centuries ago
They make it sound all wack and corny
Yes its awful blasted boring
Twisted fiction, sick addiction
Well gather round children
Zip it listen [First added to this chart: 02/20/2012]

Crease your pride,
telling lies that you're not on your own.

Oh, woman, tell me what you want
and I'll calm down without bleeding out
with a broken heart that you stabbed for an hour.
Woman, I was freaking out because I want you to know:
my beloved, you are the lover of my impossible soul. [First added to this chart: 02/20/2012]

on and on we all go,
into another morning.
It was only yesterday,
didn’t even know you,

Thoughts are moving,
I've been wondering
when they take my turn to get a win.
Everyone is out to get you again,
but I want you back
underneath my skin. [First added to this chart: 02/20/2012]

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 18% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.2/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.6.

There are good picks here but in general this chart is only OK for me. A bit bland and 87 North American albums is exagerated.

Saw this as chart of the day. Didn't realize I rated 100/100 already. Definitely maintain that rating.
Love your song picks.

The Chart is looking good with a lot of rare picks and a clear idea of the music you like.
But after thinking a while and checking some acts that I didn`d know before I feel that lots of the music is too pretentious, synthetic and in the end - a bit boring.
