Sounds a bit like something inbetween two other albums that feature on this chart:Goldfrapp's "Felt Mountain" and Zero 7's "Simple Things". That's not to say that listening to this album isn't a unique experience in it's own right.

Lush rock/pop (does that make sense?). Just listen to "Tuna in the Brine" once, please, for your own sake.

Mainstream/Baroque pop. This album is actually intricate and deep as fuck. "Be Calm" is the most ingeniously structured pop song I've ever heard.

Progressive rock nowadays produces very little original music, it's all pretty much a rehash of past bands imo. However, these norwegian guys really have managed to create an own brand of prog metal, with really creative use of harmony and arrangements and a great sense of melody. Only part that could have been a bit more exciting is the vocals, but they're fine as they are I guess.

Glam metal. Sounds like a mix of Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Queen and ELO. And by that I don't mean they've just "taken influence" from those bands, I mean it sounds exactly like if they all got together and recorded and album.

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.

From Moondance 02/22/2023 01:23
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.
