Repetitive acoustic drums surrounded by artful noise. They found this vocalist performing in the streets of Germany. You can barley understand what is being said, sang in broken english by Japanese native Damo Suzuki, but somehow you feel every damn word! [First added to this chart: 11/18/2013]

Minimal layers consisting an organ, a drum machine and a tape echo. Critics didn't know how to categorize this band. They became lumped into New Yorks No Wave scene. It was 1977. This is early industrial. [First added to this chart: 11/18/2013]

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 10% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.0/100, a mean average of 89.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.3.

A focus on 80`s new wave and electro acts. Love it.
Nice to see Front 242. Underrated on BEA, I think.
