reviews: Similar sites The site is similar to other review aggregator websites such as Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes in that it gathers reviews to assess critical acclaim. The site differs in the sense that it specializes in contemporary music in its chosen fields. It does not cover jazz or classical releases, or many world music albums, and tends to ignore most reissues, compilations and various artist collections. The site also offers regular track recommendations, called "Today We Love", and regular playlists, with themes that appear sometimes to be topical and sometimes random. Although similar in principle to other review aggregator websites, AnyDecentMusic? puts some focus on its users finding new music through its features, with users able to formulate a personal "chart" through genre and time period search filters. Palmer and Watson described their reasoning behind the site on their PalmerWatson.com website: "We couldn't find a site that did what AnyDecentMusic? does, so we built one." Chart Once an album or release has five reviews from different sources, it enters the current Recent Releases chart, where it remains for six weeks. It is this chart that forms the centerpiece of the site. In 2010 The Observer Sunday newspaper regularly featured the AnyDecentMusic? top 10 in its charts page. There is an "All-Time" Chart, but this covers only the duration of the website's existence, which was launched in 2009. Since the site's beginning, the following albums have the highest aggregate rating: To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar – 9.3 Fetch the Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple – 9.2 Damn by Kendrick Lamar – 9.1 Black Messiah by D'Angelo – 9.1 Ghosteen by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - 9.0 Prioritise Pleasure by Self Esteem - 9.0 Rough and Rowdy Ways by Bob Dylan – 8.9 Skeleton Tree by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – 8.9 Channel Orange by Frank Ocean – 8.9 We're All Alone in This Together by Dave – 8.9 Hadestown by Anaïs Mitchell – 8.8 RTJ4 by Run the Jewels – 8.8 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West – 8.8 You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen – 8.8 Promises by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders, The London Symphony Orchestra – 8.8 Sometimes I Might Be Introvert by Little Simz - 8.8 Carrie & Lowell by Sufjan Stevens – 8.8 Set My Heart on Fire Immediately by Perfume Genius – 8.8 A Crow Looked
