Top 99 Greatest Music Albums by saacsquatch 
I've excluded all albums that have overall ranks that are higher than the ones that I would give them. For example: Doolittle's overall rank is 19. I would not rank it that high, so it's not included in my list. Doolittle and all the other albums that I've excluded don't need my help since they're already rated highly. I'd rather make room for albums that do need my help. My "true" greatest albums list can be found in my custom lists.
I've also limited this chart to 1 album per artist 'cuz that's the in thing.

What makes cancer tenacious? The moon rules the fluids, including the inner juices of human beings, that which assimilates and feeds the body. So the crab feeds its astral plane, assimilating and distributing all he receives slowly until it becomes a part of you.

"Fuel sources are at a slight risk of mixing with the crispy plutonium center of your new automated spouse and then dripping, possibly leading to the unpredicted stimulation of its artificial emotion circuits, and, in a few unsubstantiated clinical trials, this condition has led to simulating feelings of resentment and worthlessness manifested in the highly unlikely, but still possible, act of physical aggression towards you and your loved ones' fleshy surfaces."

Every thousand years, this metal sphere ten times the size of Jupiter floats just a few yards past the Earth. You climb on your roof and take a swipe at it with a single feather, hit it once every thousand years 'til you've worn it down to the size of a pea. Yeah, I'd say that's a long time, but it's only half a blink in the place you're gonna be. Where you gonna be? Where will you spend eternity?

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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.0/100, a mean average of 92.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.5.

This is one of the charts that convinced me to listen to all seven hours of The Disintegration Loops in one sitting. As effortless as an epic avant-garde excursion could be.
Also, I love the albums on this chart.
