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]

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.

This is the first Bob's album that became a fully 'folk-rock' album.With more electric than the previous album ,this album start with the epic 'Like a Rolling Stone' to another classics like Tombstone blues ,Ballad of A Thin Man ,Queen Jane Approximately and wrap up the whole album with Desolation Row.
One of the first Folk-Rock (Blues + some Electrics) album but yet maybe the greatest one. [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.
