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 87.7/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.6.

There's lots to love about this chart! Awesome to see Björk, Nick Cave, Hendrix, and Metallica well represented. Great mix of genres and good representation across the decades. Add some comments in when you get a chance. Some artists here I've never heard before so must check them out.
Ace chart

Suuuuch a great chart! RAINING BLOOOOD!!!!

Killer!!!
While not all choices I would make, I really appreciate the diversity in the genres here. Great work!
Even without any notes I really like this chart. It has an unusual sort of variety with metal, folk/country and rap prominent, and has some albums – ‘Joan Baez’, ‘Actor’, all the Emmylou Harris albums, even perhaps the System of a Down albums – that are rarely seen on all-time charts here.
Well done. Very wide range of genres. Good to see Nightwish, Nick Cave, System of a Down and Johnny Cash in there

You weren't kidding! This is a great and varied list, would love to see some notes though.
