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 has a Bayesian average rating of 83.9/100, a mean average of 80.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.7.

Great 1st album I think. Otherwise I do not agree entirely but that's what makes your chart great - for me to watch and be inspired. Check out my chart if you like.

Noticed we both have LFO in our charts, then some others as well. Love your chart as a whole especially the inclusion of Tangerine Dream. Will try to squeeze this in mine at some point in the future. Check out my top 10. There’s some stuff you may like.

bcaie16 - Thanks for the rating and comment. I have a system as explained in my earlier comments. On that system 7.6 is a pretty good score. I'm well chuffed with your rating of 8. My chart will change again when I can invest some more time into it.
