What can i say about this album!
After a lot of listening ,I am now pretty sure that this is the most 'Beautiful Mess' music I have ever listened to.
Mingus is just plain genius. [First added to this chart: 02/07/2014]

Changed my perspective on 'Electronic' genre since then.For me How to Disappear is a highlight of the album and describes what "Beauty" really means.

One of the most beautiful album ever recorded in the history of MUSIC.Shine On You Crazy Diamond is maybe the most perfect 25 minutes for a song.

Almost Flawless but OK Computer 'A' side is absolutely the most perfect side for an album.

The best Beatles album for sure.Start from cool drum grooves in Come together and end by greatest solo(of the band themselves) in The end (+Her Majesty).This record shows that Lennon and co. are the best rock song writers ever.

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.9/100, a mean average of 92.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.7.

I give you a high rating because you have lots of good albums here and some classical stuff I look after that in a while because classic music has a lot to offer too. Good work nice to here more from you on my chart.

20 albums in common feels great to me too. I'll have to check out some of those classical albums you have listed. Awesome variety of genres!

Sixteen artists plus composer Messiaen in common with my own – and I have been meaning to check out ‘Ewa Demarczyk Śpiewa Piosenki Zygmunta Koniecznego’ for some time since buying it.
I get a feeling this chart lacks the unpredictable touch. Recalling having to add half a dozen albums when making my own chart is significant to me, and there are not that many albums rarely seen on this sort of chart. Very good and varied nonetheless.
