Prog with dual lead guitars that put Thin Lizzy to shame. And I don't care what everyone else says, this is way better than Argus.

Prog with a pastoral atmosphere like you wouldn't believe. All Caravan albums from the self titled debut up to "For girls who grow plump in the night" are great, but this one just slightly has the edge over the others imo.

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 has a Bayesian average rating of 87.1/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.4.

Certainly one of the more diverse (by nation) & interesting 1 album/per artist charts I've seen. Personally, I found the quality of the top 100 albums to be too inconsistent (for a top 100 chart) ~ but I accept that you have unique tastes and are just being honest to those tastes.
I loved seeing The Easybeats & Silverchair representing Australian music.
Enjoyed the commentary - quirky & funny & engaging.

Although totally different from my own chart – even regarding preference for albums by Stevie Wonder and George Clinton – this is a really interesting and thoughtful chart, one of the best I have seen here.
