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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.8/100, a mean average of 94.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 94.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 4.5.

Love this! Many albums in common with my fave 70s, with some artists I've never heard of so must check them out. Great to see the love for Led Zep and Floyd, quite obviously the two best bands.
Brilliant chart. Packed full of classics

36 in common with my chart. Not sure about the ten albums per year restriction, 1974 was a lean year for example, (only my opinion).
Great chart. Many great bands

Excellent chart! Love to see obvious classics such as London Calling and Rumours ranked among some less familiar material.

Good chart, I like how high you have Close to the Edge, but I would have liked to have seen LZIV and Houses of the Holy flipped, but good chart nonetheless.
