2010 – ATO
Produced By DAVID BARBE
1. Daddy Learned To Fly
2. The Fourth Night Of My Drinking
3. Birthday Boy
4. Drag The Lake Charlie
5. The Wig He Made Her Wear
6. You Got Another
7. This Fucking Job
8. Get Downtown
9. After The Scene Dies
10. (It’s Gonna Be) I Told You So
11. Santa Fe
12. The Flying Wallendas
13. Eyes Like Glue
Eight studio albums into their career, you would think that Drive-By Truckers would be starting to run out of gas. Maybe not running out yet, but the needle may be starting to dip just a bit. Not to say that The Big To-Do is bad by any means…there just may be a bit more filler than what we’re used to from the Truckers. But there are also plenty of great moments here as well. The album has recurring circus references, and is acknowledged as
having been recorded in the spirit of their respect for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, even employing a full time keyboard player. The bulk of the songwriting is handled here by Patterson Hood, as guitarist Mike Cooley contributes only three tracks (a surprising drop off for a guy who has been steadily growing over the years as a writer). Bassist Shonna Tucker contributes a pair of tracks as well. The rest is all Hood, and he does his very best to carry the load.
Hood’s best tracks here are “The Wig He Made Her Wear”, “The Fourth Night Of My Drinking”, and “Drag The Lake Charlie”. And “This Fucking Job” could be the anthem of the working man everywhere. Both of Tucker’s contributions are very good ("You Got Another” and “(It’s Gonna Be) I Told You So”). And Cooley steps in with one of his finest tunes, the rollicking “Get Downtown”, which ends up being the real highlight of the album. On The Big To-Do, the Truckers aren’t afraid of trying new things. They rock more here, and the songs are more present tense than ever before. The sessions resulted in 25 tracks being recorded, which they split between this album and its follow up, Go Go Boots. Maybe they could have taken the best from both albums and made one killer disc…but that’s their decision, not mine. Still…The Big To Do is a good time, which all Truckers albums should be. It’s not perfect, but still very, very good. [First added to this chart: 11/20/2012]

2002-LOST HIGHWAY
Produced By DRIVE BY TRUCKERS, DICK COOPER & DAVID BARBE
1. Days Of Graduation
2. Ronnie And Neil
3. 72 (This Highway's Mean)
4. Dead, Drunk And Naked
5. Guitar Man Upstairs
6. Birmingham
7. The Southern Thing
8. The Three Great Alabama Icons
9. Wallace
10. Zip City
11. Moved
1. Let There Be Rock
2. Road Cases
3. Women Without Whiskey
4. Plastic Flowers On The Highway
5. Cassie's Brother
6. Life In The Factory
7. Shut Up And Get On The Plane
8. Greenville To Baton Rouge
9. Angels And Fuselage
The Drive By Truckers pulled no punches for their third studio album. Two discs, all about Lynyrd Skynyrd, George Wallace, life in the South, more Lynyrd Skynyrd, and a fictional band called Betamax Guillotine (a reference to the legend that what killed Ronnie Van Zandt was a VCR to the back of the head). But what it's really about is what all of those things really mean to those from the South. And it's a better told story than Pete Townshend could have ever dreamed of.
Not only that, but the songs themselves are powerful on their own. The importance of George Wallace is detailed in "The Southern Thing", "The Three Great Alabama Icons", and "Wallace"...the last told from the perspective of the devil with Wallace in hell. "Cassie's Brother" is a fine tribute to Steve Gaines, but the most moving piece of all is the finale, "Angels And Fuselage". It's a simple song about what it must be like to be on a plane that's going down. Beautiful, and maybe the scariest song ever recorded. Southern Rock Opera is a masterpiece.

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 6% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.5/100, a mean average of 90.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.5.

From Moondance 10/31/2022 01:30
I enjoyed looking through this chart -- discovering a few bands I've missed along the way. Nice to see 5 Aussie/NZ artists listed (this includes Crowded House, of course). I even found about 5 of my top 100 in your top 201-300 - which I think is so cool.

Daydream Nation was produced by Nick Sansano and Sonic Youth, not David Barbe.
