Best Albums of 2003, Scientifically

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-sorta-i-guess dept.

thdexter writes "Two guys statistically analyzed the best albums of 2003, from some thirty top-10 lists, giving value to how often an album was mentioned by editors and recording its mean place. White Stripes came out on top, with Outkast below. Full results are available on the site."

    Looking at their 'scientific' analysis and method, perhaps "most critically acclaimed albums of 2003" would be a better.

    Critical acclamation may be a proxy for what the critics think is best, but beauty, including musical beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

    Metacritic.com compiles up to 30 reviews for a particular video game / movie / CD and averages the review score. Here are to true top albums of 2003 as rated by nearly everybody: http://metacritic.com/music/bests/2003.shtml

    Note that the list does change as more reviews come in. This list actually has good music like The Shins or The Notwist.
