Aka It’s got a Good Beat and I Can Dance to It (post-punk)
release date: 1/8
One of the great things about entertainment is it enables you to be somebody else. Even for just for a couple of hours. The baddie. The man with the black hat. And frontman Sebastian Murphy is the perfect foil. A bad man. He "Ain't Nice!" He'll tell you so himself. He'll use you. Store his shit at your house. Reject your romantic notions about living in a "little cabin in the woods together". He don't need nobody telling him "when to go to bed and when to brush teeth."
The music itself is pure nostalgia for me. Bringing me back to Providence, RI in the mid-90s when bands like Thee Hydrogen Terrors, Arab On Radar, and Six Finger Satellite would wreak havoc at some loft's makeshift stage on a nightly basis." On "Toad", they throw some Jon Spencer bad-assness over some Suicide synths. Completely irresistible!
So break out that mask. Be someone else. And dance with us. The creatures down at the bottom! [First added to this chart: 01/30/2021]

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 90.8/100, a mean average of 95.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 95.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.4.

Great list - I'm enjoying a number of albums that I wouldn't have seen on the main site! Thanks
