Top 100 Music Albums of the 2010s by Purplepash

Dominated by 2014 onwards as that was when I came out of the dark ages of purchased CDs and found subscription streaming services. This increased accessability allowed for so much more exploration and discoveries...and I love new fresh music so recent albums are always coming in.

"You have no right to be depressed,
You haven't tried hard enough to like it"

I knew I had just listened to something special when I first heard this album, a feeling I haven't had since Nevermind. I listened to this album obsessively for a few months and I still haven't stopped listening to it regularly. It has most of the features of music I love, like full of emotion, great lyrics, great song writing, and passionate vocals.

10/10 songs: Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales, Vincent, Fill In The Blank, (Joe Gets Kicked out of School for Using) Drugs with Friends (But Says This Isn't a Problem), The Ballad Of The Costa Concordia, & 1937 State Park [First added to this chart: 06/03/2017]

"Just this year I lost a basketball team to heaven"

Powerful passionate album musically and lyrically. Emotionally honest and earnest, it's like I can feel the heart and soul that went into this.

''You think your great big husband will protect you, you are wrong
You think your little wife will protect you, you are wrong
You think your children will protect you, you are wrong''

You think your government will protect you, you are wrong

Sometimes I think live music positively affects my appreciation of albums. I saw Grinderman live twice around the time of this album, and the first time I was in exactly the right frame of mind for this. I lost myself in the wizardry of Warren Ellis and the way him and Nick Cave, the showman, worked so perfectly together. It was such a memorable experience I can't help but be nearly taken back there every time. The second time live was just as good too! A short lived concept project but we got two great albums and some fantastic live performances so I'm not complaining.

10/10 song: Mickey Mouse and the Goodbye Man (sets up the album for a great example of what you are going to get), Heathen Child, & Kitchenette [First added to this chart: 06/03/2017]

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 86.5/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.8.
