It may seem “immediate” to place this within a top 100 greatest albums... but the fortnight I’ve spent with this album - and how it seemingly speaks to me and parallels my own experiences with love and loss... this has earned its space. It’s truly special. [First added to this chart: 08/11/2020]

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 6% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.4/100, a mean average of 89.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.2.

Station to Station is underrated! Great seeing it in the top ten. Funny I just listened to Manic Street Preachers last night, man I need to listen to more of their work. Apparently I need to check out The Cribs. Cool chart! Heck you even have Robyn, Lorde, Santigold and Lykke Li, that's awesome.

That’s great to hear, HeavyChair! I’m a huge fan, seeing them 4 times on this tour, met Beth after the show in Manchester and they’re the nicest person. New album is great!

In response to a question you posed elsewhere, I guess it was to offset, more or less the backlash, aimed more at the self-promotion than the rest of his choices. Ratings don’t mean much, but I’d rather not run someone off the site.

As for your chart, I’ll echo what the previous user said. Definitely not my choices, but this chart looks sincere and has some personality, so I dig it. And as a fellow Los Campesinos fan, I’m peaches as pie to see them getting some love.
