Better of the 2 Ulcerate albums I've heard so far. Their debut is less melodic and even more chaotic, but let's be honest, the songwriting on Stare Into Death And Be Still is on another level. That along with the incredible atmosphere makes a 58 minute behemoth sound fresh and interesting every second of its runtime. [First added to this chart: 05/06/2020]
This is just all around incredibly satisfying release. The production is smooth and detailed, as well as diverse. Verses are tongue in cheek, Milo tackles interesting topics in a humorous way - everything from doing laundry to what it means to be an artist. There's too many memorable quotes, but the one that perhaps sums up the album best is:
"I wrote this outside of Wegmans
After they kicked me out for, for kickin', kickin’ too many rhymes" [First added to this chart: 03/20/2020]
"This is some pleasant, soothing house/jazz/electronic/ambient/whatever. Really tasteful record, nicely produced with a great flow from front to back. Could listen all day." - albumoftheyear.org user LAZ [First added to this chart: 05/12/2020]
It's fair to say that I did not expect to like a 53 minute disco album, even with all the rave reviews. And it floored me. It's incredible that during the entire runtime there isn't a single mediocre/bad song. 12 bangers. And that's not even the best thing about What's Your Pleasure. What I find the most amusing here is how she seamlessly mixes genres and handles the production. Most of the songs here use well known (even cliched or corny) sounds and fuse them together to create something unexpected and so groovy. It's melancholic at times too, which is crucial because it adds to the diversity. [First added to this chart: 09/11/2020]
Jessy at it again. Infectious electronic and pop tunes, with much more synthpop than usual. Extravagant, charismatic and one of a kind. [First added to this chart: 07/24/2020]
May be even better than the fantastic debut Tarot Funk. It's certainly more danecable. Both are special, give them a listen. [First added to this chart: 01/02/2021]
Reminiscent of Ali Farka Toure's brand of African blues, this small masterpiece by Tidiane Thiam sucks you in completely. Crickets and nature sounds in the background make you feel like you're sitting by the fire, right next to Thiam while he's plucking his rusty old guitar. [First added to this chart: 05/27/2020]
"Gorgeous record from beginning to end; funny, wise, sad, loving, comforting. It cradles you through many emotions, and Laura's delivery is so honest and powerful in its gentleness.
The title track may be her best song; if not her best, one of the most stunning of her remarkable career." - BEA user giulius06 [First added to this chart: 04/19/2020]

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 92.1/100, a mean average of 95.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 95.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.0.

Great chart! A few I loved, and a few I couldn't stand (ugh that Code Orange record...not for me). 26 in common, including quite a few which are deeper cuts (Ulcerate was great, as was the Backxwash album). Probably my favorite 2020 chart I've seen so far, I'll have to dig through your year charts for other eras.
Glad you enjoyed it.
It’s in the queue, might get a chance to play it tomorrow. The difference is that I know a few of the older Roisin/Moloko songs, so I kind of know what to expect. Or not?
So I was reading the intro for your pick for Jessie Ware, and I think it might happen with Roisin Machine.
A decent number in common, and definitely quite a few that have piqued my interest and will join my to do list (even a couple of metal ones ;))
Thanks Luigii! It was an interesting birthday in quarantine lol.
Gotta listen to Squarepusher and AAL, thanks for reminding me with your 2020 chart :)
Happy belated birthday Led. Also gonna use this to dent a little more of 2020.
Thanks Tilly! Gotta say that the feeling is mutual, I've been browsing your chart a lot, but my queue is full atm. Hope I'll find some time for The Innocence Mission, Basic Plumbing, Tennis and Godthrymm at the very least.
Dude! This just keeps getting better & better! Great work. My favorite chart of 2020. Keep it up!
Stellar notes and nice picks! Although Konvent should be higher! ;) Great seeing Tortuga and Orc make someone else's chart. Both great!
Check out Haunt's latest when you get the chance!

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
