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 12% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.8/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.9.

Very classical chart.
Fine.

Had to change my rating and come back for another shoutout after seeing your love for Laura Marling's latest. Great list my fellow Ontarian!
Great list!

Love this chart. Not only for the fact that you have Blackstar in the top 10, but also because you have an interesting little bell curve across the decades from the 60s to the 2010s. I'd be interested to see what this chart would look like had you included jazz.
liked the list
purchaced Blackstar but haven't listened to it yet
I need to do that
Many classics!
jhuik 09/16/2016 10:28
Yo Toronto! Your chart is legit.
CA Dreamin 03/29/2016 01:11
Some similarities, some differences. But I respect our differences.
LedZep 03/28/2016 12:13
Excellent! Although I think Blackstar is just temporarily number 3, it sure isn't the best Bowie album? Great, but not the best
21 albums in common.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
