Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by jtrizzle35 
Way too hard to rank albums in one set order. To make things easier, I just rank them in the order that I am likely to play these albums in the car while driving alone. I am aware that the majority of these albums were released fairly recently.... I am but a young man born in the late 90s.
Also it's worth noting that I am slowly but surely adding writeups to all of these albums. Thanks, love you guys.

Sometimes this is my favorite Kendrick album, most likely because of how nostalgic it is for me. This was released in the spring of my freshman year at UConn. This album soundtracked a lot of really positive/warm moments in my life.
Favorite associated memories: Eating breakfast in Buckley Dining hall the morning it was released and Sean walks up to the table and was like "Did you listen to the new kendrick album? I'm listening to DNA right now. I knew this album was gonna be good but i didn't think the beats would go THIS hard."
Listening to "Lust" in Silvanna's dorm with all of our old friends sitting around reminiscing on all the great memories we made that year.
Listening to Duckworth and [redacted] saying some stupid shit like "If you listen to the lyrics of this song you can really understand what kendrick went through to get to this point." and then the next day he posted some pro-trump thing on facebook. [First added to this chart: 07/08/2018]

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 11% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.8/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.2.

Some great albums - not the order I'd agree with (no surprises there).

I like your writing at the top. You prefer the new stuff and good on you. I roll my eyes every time I see a list with 70 albums in the 60s/70s. And I do like a lot of the picks too. Could still probably use a little more diversity. There are some really great hidden gems from the 20th century. No, not beatles/stones/who/floyd.

When I Get Home is indeed a bliss, maybe I should add it to my chart too.
I really like your chart, and the surprises in it. But the majority are still these ermm... household names. Just saying, don't be afraid to step on the toes of some people on this site; they won't be satisfied until your chart is literally 1. Radiohead, 2. Pink Floyd, 3. Arcade Fire. You know, I would love it if I could find some new music through your chart, because I think you have good taste. But I think I can count the albums I don't know on one hand (which is still better than most people here though).
But hey, if this is just your unfiltered opinion, I've said nothing. Keep up the good work.

I really disagree with alot of your picks, but I really adore your descriptions, especially the unique "associated memories" part.

Some interesting choices that I wouldn't have selected. But to each his own. I like seeing a lot of picks from the 2010s.
