NB. This is still a work in progress

Comments will be added in Lockdown 2026!

Will eventually make this a custom chart and will make it one artist per chart, to reduce the amount of Belle & Sebastian, Radiohead and Nick Cave!

Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - Knocknarea

17.03.2025

Nearly two years on, it now sounds even better. 'Kakistocracy' has really stewed in its own juices and taken on the stench of oloroso barrel and smoked guanciale to eclipse the brilliant 'Blind Spot'.

High class psychedelic-jazz-punk

1.Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - Thunder. 84
2.Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - Blind Spot. 97
3.Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - The Tinker. 73
4.Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - Kakistocracy. 98

Ranked in order:

* Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - Kakistocracy. 98
* Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - Blind Spot. 97

Maruja (CW - UK - Apr 24) - Connla's Well

26.04.2024

More psychedelic-jazz-rock from the banks of the muddy Medlock. It's more mature than the 2023 EP 'Knocknarea' but doesn't quite reach that level, other than on the powerful 'The Invisible Man'.

1.Maruja (CW - UK - Apr 24) - Connla's Well n/a (75) n/a
2.Maruja (CW - UK - Apr 24) - The Invisible Man 96
3.Maruja (CW - UK - Apr 24) - Zeitgeist 76

5.Maruja (CW - UK - Apr 24) - Resisting Resistance 88

Ranked in order:

* Maruja (CW - UK - Apr 24) - The Invisible Man 96

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 5% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.7/100, a mean average of 89.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.5.

How do you rate songs on a scale of one hundred? Like what are your criteria?

Rating every single song in comments as a review is annoying, bro.
Bot type sh*t.

Can you stop putting your rating song after song on every album you get to impose your opinion? Limit yourself to a qualitative opinion.

Absolutely adore this chart. Just a suggestion but I think that you should leave the chart as it is rather than one entry per artist. If this is your top 100 albums ever, I'd keep it at that.

Great chart, maybe leans a little too heavily into certain artists but hey, that's cool. They're certainly artists that I love, particularly B&S.
