I've finally crumbled and put Björk at number 1. There's a lot to unpack about Vespertine. Firstly, this album was written while she was starring in the Lars Von Trier movie, Dancer in the Dark (a great movie by the way, too bad Lars Von Trier is a creep). After making this film and expressing herself "extrovertedly", Björk decided she wanted to make an "introverted" album. Therefore a lot of the beats on Vespertine are understated. On top of the minimal beats, she put, among other things, harps, music boxes, celestas, and choir vocals. Secondly, she had started an intense relationship with director Matthew Barney, which resulted in the lyrics becoming even more personal and erotic than before. All this coalesces into an incredibly beautiful and rewarding album. This is an album to listen to while just sitting/laying down and nothing else. Go listen!

Often considered her magnum opus, everything about Homogenic feels absolutely futuristic; the artwork, the textures, the lyrics, the instrumentation, her voice. It feels like it's constantly 5 years (get it?) in the future, rather than being almost 25 years old. I used to think this was her best, but now I find more enjoyment out of her follow up, but this album is still nothing to scoff at.

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 90.3/100, a mean average of 91.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.7.

Discovered your chart after seeing you had Blind Girls' Residue at a 9.5/10 (shame it didn't make the cut here!). Surprised I haven't come across this before; you've got great taste and your passion really comes through in the writing. Hail Bjork!

Very diverse and adventurous chart, which kinda makes Nevermind being so high kinda baffling, but otherwise great.

This chart is awesome! You have great taste - a real eclectic mix in terms of genres covered, and importantly you've given due praise to indisputable classics - including many of my favourite artists and albums with great descriptions. Quite a few more you have here are just outside my top 100. Love your work!

Great chart! Drukqs is a phenomenal album! Loved your comment about it. I really need to fully get into Edge of Sanity, they have such an impressive and intense sound.
