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.

What a great chart! I've been meaning to get 'Everybody Knows this is Nowhere' for such a long time, perhaps now I have the incentive.
Nice list :)
I love Everybody Knows This is Nowhere too!

SOME ECLECTIC CHOICES AND MANY THINGS I SHOULD APPRECIATE MORE...ESP. THE ROXY MUSIC AND SABBATH...A FEW MISSES FOR ME AND SOME NONE ROCK N ROLL BUT A VERY GOOD CHART

Great chart! The inclusion of Black Sabbath's Technical Ecstasy was wonderful! Everyone discounts that one because their sound evolved. That album has an infectious groove that is like no other. Well-played!
Nice variety of genre, however I feel you put couple of albums that are second rate compared to others by the same artist. Still good to see some understated classics like your chart has got =]

strange #1 but overall a great chart. thanks.
Hey, I like this even more since you updated it! Good to see A-ha and Television on the same chart..
Loved it...except Sam's Town. Couldn't stand that record.
