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 85.8/100, a mean average of 85.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.0.

Great chart! Get some more choices on there! I was very pleased to see Of Montreal and The Brian Jonestown Massacre on there. Those are two that I have really embraced over the past few months. Like you, I'd place both right up there with the other more prominent choices. :o)

9 in common is pretty good considering how recent the releases on my list are compared to yours. Great list for classics.

It's nice to see someone who has a lot of classic albums in their chart. Experimental stuff is good too but it's nice to see people still love the classics.
