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 82.5/100, a mean average of 80.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.1.

"Taaakke on meeeeee ...." Takes me back to summer 2003 with friends post-graduating from highschool. We would have "Hunting High And Low" on all day. Cheesy, but good memories.

pretty good chart but signs of faux highbrow (Nick Drake), I know you older people have heard it before but leave me alone (OK Computer)and jazz nerd worship (at least your choices are at least celebrated and not chosen from All Music Guide). I Lowered my rating an extra 10 points for Technical Ecstacy. You've got to be kidding.

Good list overall, lots of great bands and some excellent albums, but some really weird choices as well. Emotional Rescue? Atlantic Crossing? Technical Ecstacy? Not sure what to do with that. Points for quirkiness I guess.
