2010 was the year I really got into music. I listened to way more music than i ever had. Consequently, I think i'm more happy with this list than any of my others.

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 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.

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.

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.
Watching their faith in prayers

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.

The tide comes in and the tide goes out again,
I suppose this is the kind of thing we see every day.

Push it out the window,
on and on we all go,
into another morning.
It was only yesterday,
didn’t even know you,
now I’m gonna miss 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.

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 17% 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.

Thanks for checking out my chart. I've seen that your a big Manchester Orchestra fan, definitely one of the most underrated bands around today. Like this chart a lot, I need to listen to a lot of these albums.

Wow! We have a lot in common on our 2010s lists. We each have our own unique order but I counted like 60 albums in common... That's a lot. I like your eclectic taste. Good work.

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