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]
"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]
Paradise Lost have finally completed a cycle. From goth/death/doom metal masterpieces to disco throwaways and back for their second peak as a band. [First added to this chart: 05/18/2020]
It's like Converge and Nails had a baby. 36 minutes of madness. If this doesn't excite you, I don't know what will. [First added to this chart: 02/03/2020]
I've often been slightly critical of PC Music and associated artists. They push the boundaries of pop music, that's for sure, but the end product so often felt half-baked and not as enjoyable as it could be. This one is probably the most out-there release to come out of that scene, but surprisingly it's also one of the most enjoyable ones to me. It covers so many different styles and genres that it's hard to keep track of what's going on, and yet it always produces good songs which make for a very fun and intriguing album. Or 7 themed mixtapes. At some moments it sounds like Autechre, at others like Oneothrix Point Never, then it goes into something like Frank Ocean gone electronic. Undying sounds like a more out-there version of a Wolf Alice song, and it just gets crazier from there. There are a lot of covers too, the weirdest and possibly the best of all being a Smashing Pumpkins classic Today. It's fair to say that AG Cook floored me with this behemoth of an album, even if not every moment is fantastic. But it's over 2 and half hours and 49 songs, so it's not unexpected. Overall, it's a very enjoyable mixed bag. [First added to this chart: 08/20/2020]

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!
