This album was truly a sin at first. A Bitter piece of reality which I had to face. The lines speak about Anne Frank but are able to get personal in each moment. The fact of how everything we love and believe is just a floating piece of chemical string, meaningless but mysterious. Ever since you became "you", you became a slave of all meaningless things in the universe. Child, Family, Religion, God, Nature, or whatever you can think of. Any meaningless piece of meaning, that actually should be thankful for our existence otherwise they wouldn't exist either, is just escaping one thing. Reality. This album is a splt of reality in your face.

I grew up as an Idealist. This is how my thoughts sound. A Safe and Sound world where you actually have "more" control over your life. "In Rainbows" is the sound when I broke down, and saw myself just as another specie crawling on the ground, and nothing more. No Ideal life, no ideal job, no ideal wife. I was wearing the most glorious clothes that my mind had created, but at once I was "Nude". I wasn't even complete for love, and i never will be. I thought one day i will reach the ideal life i was dreaming for, but i won't. In my love relationship, I had to "Hit the bottom and escape". I had to accept my Uncorrectable weaknesses and start living with.
I'm just another specie, who was "Crazy not to follow". Because I'm incomplete, and it was "All I Need".
My Thoughts, they can be "All wrong", or "All right". I was in the middle of a circle I didn't want to be in. I didn't choose to be in, but I had to. I was drowned by my sins, had no ability to control myself from drowning. I was "Dancing for the Pleasure" and blamed the Reckoner. "You are not to blame for".
My life used to be white and neat, but this album was exactly released by the time i was dropped in the middle of a colorful place. Somewhere like "In Rainbows". I learned that love is about lack and not about perfection. I learned that my death is just something that is happening for a lot of my type, every five seconds, and it's not going to be special. The "Videotape" i'll record will be forgotten, and put in the end of an album, and it doesn't matter whether I was crying or not strong enough to say Goodbye, Eye to eye. In Rainbows is Incomplete, like I am. [First added to this chart: 06/19/2012]

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 12% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.7/100, a mean average of 87.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.0.

Interesting, maybe a little too 2000s and 2010s orientated. LOVE your descriptions of some albums, especially Kid A and In Rainbows

This is an outstanding chart! Funeral and Illinois are fantastic albums, and it's really nice to see Grimes's Vision on here. Your notes are detailed and fascinating--would love to see you continue to add those.

Good list! Will have to come back this one. Never heard of Low Roar. Appreciate your appreciation of Deafheaven and placement of Souvlaki at #2. So great.
