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 4% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.0/100, a mean average of 90.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.6.

Yes, jazz! Nice top ten and overall, even if there's many classics, a very original chart. Love seeing lorca, hex and head over heels so high. I would reccomend to you 'Tourist' by St Germain, an incredible and original mix of electronic/house music with live jazz and improvisations, maybe you'll like it.

A great chart once again. Would love to see this ranked in order, however I can see how you find it challenging to do so.
