Rating metrics: Help 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 albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.7/100, a mean average of 82.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

“Basic format I had in mind for this is I will take an album/EP/Compilation from each of 4 or 5 categories. The categories are basically: -releases I know I love or really like but want to listen again before ranking and adding, -releases I have heard before but need a relisten - could be an album I…”

The greatest EP of all time. Just a fact. Thorn is one of MBV's best songs.

Nobody had this on their chart? Well, I decided to put it there. This is sort of like MBV's other Loveless. It's what started to get them known, with the title track being the closest thing they ever got to a hit. Isn't Anything is good as a whole but it has its weak points, You Made Me Realise is consistently good, short and sweet and to the point.

Flawless 5 track EP but it's not an album. Perhaps use the collected 88-91 compilation for your charts instead?

This is good stuff, but too short to count as an album on BEA (it's less than 20 minutes).
