The monumental album that set a new standard for Progressive Rock.Every tracks flow from one to another beautifully especially from the ending of Time to the intro of The Great Gig in The Sky.BTW in my opinion Money alone is maybe great for a song but really did kills the mood of The album.

This is the first Bob's album that became a fully 'folk-rock' album.With more electric than the previous album ,this album start with the epic 'Like a Rolling Stone' to another classics like Tombstone blues ,Ballad of A Thin Man ,Queen Jane Approximately and wrap up the whole album with Desolation Row.
One of the first Folk-Rock (Blues + some Electrics) album but yet maybe the greatest one. [First added to this chart: 02/12/2014]

Taken from a guy in RYM
"Nick Drake's music may not be gripping at first. It is unassuming, undramatic, full of doubt and hesitation. Nick's soft voice may even sound gray and flat, at first (he is certainly not given to dramatic expression). His breathy vocals never, not once, sound forced or strained, and can - strictly speaking - hardly count as proper singing. The voice never rises beyond the humming of a lullaby, like he's singing to himself all the time, while stroking a cat, in quiet solitude. Even the melodies sound pensive and hesitant. They tend to stall at certain pitches, for several beats even, as if Nick were making up the melody as he goes along, ruminating. This can be annoying at first but soon one begins to realize how essential this characteristic is to his pensive, intimate style." [First added to this chart: 02/12/2014]

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 92.0/100, a mean average of 92.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.7.

I give you a high rating because you have lots of good albums here and some classical stuff I look after that in a while because classic music has a lot to offer too. Good work nice to here more from you on my chart.

Sixteen artists plus composer Messiaen in common with my own – and I have been meaning to check out ‘Ewa Demarczyk Śpiewa Piosenki Zygmunta Koniecznego’ for some time since buying it.
I get a feeling this chart lacks the unpredictable touch. Recalling having to add half a dozen albums when making my own chart is significant to me, and there are not that many albums rarely seen on this sort of chart. Very good and varied nonetheless.
