Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
Torchlin 
16 September 2019
-new revamp-
After a few years of inactivity, I decided to give it another go to rank my current favorite albums.
Although I'm open for all different kinds of music genres, I have a penchant for electronic music and hip hop, thus this will be reflected in my album choices.
I plan to add a comment for each album but obviously, it will take time.

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 4% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.1/100, a mean average of 89.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.6.

Dang. This chart is about as legit as they come. Every pick keeps me on my toes and they're pretty much all great. Some stuff I never heard of, too.
Tha1ChiefRocka 03/27/2019 05:19
Why have I not seen this great chart before? Lots of favorites and a few to check out.
Very original
OKC1 12/11/2016 00:36
Deepchord, Mayer and Fontaine in the top ten - Love this chart!
Your chart is very unique. I will give a try to some of your choices.

Holy crap, grabbed a few albums off of here. This is wonderful.
LedZep 12/10/2016 12:23
I know like 10 albums here overall... Will come back and rate it again when I listen to some of these albums, really got me interested. Loads of electronica, then death metal (?), some classic rock albums, some weird albums and many unknowns.
Amazing original list!
briggs54 05/16/2015 14:59
Awesome list! Many original picks. I admit there are a few I have not heard yet so I rated you high based simply on originality. Also, what's up with the guy who said "top marks for originality" and then gave you 70/100? What an idiot.
Top marks for personality and originality

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
