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. [First added to this chart: 01/11/2013]

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. [First added to this chart: 01/11/2013]

The monumental album that set a new standard for Progressive Rock.Every tracks flow from one to another beautifully especially from the ending of Time to the intro of The Great Gig in The Sky.BTW in my opinion Money alone is maybe great for a song but really did kills the mood of The album.

Pink Moon

Taken from a guy in RYM
"Nick Drake's music may not be gripping at first. It is unassuming, undramatic, full of doubt and hesitation. Nick's soft voice may even sound gray and flat, at first (he is certainly not given to dramatic expression). His breathy vocals never, not once, sound forced or strained, and can - strictly speaking - hardly count as proper singing. The voice never rises beyond the humming of a lullaby, like he's singing to himself all the time, while stroking a cat, in quiet solitude. Even the melodies sound pensive and hesitant. They tend to stall at certain pitches, for several beats even, as if Nick were making up the melody as he goes along, ruminating. This can be annoying at first but soon one begins to realize how essential this characteristic is to his pensive, intimate style." [First added to this chart: 02/12/2014]

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 92.0/100, a mean average of 92.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.8/100. 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.

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.
