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 13% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.5/100, a mean average of 86.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.4.

Very nice, a set of almost all unquestionably good albums. Some nice variety with stuff like Blood on the Tracks and Astral Weeks getting a look in amongst the electric stuff, but my only criticism would be that maybe it could do with a bit more variety still, though I guess taste is taste.
Like it a lot though.

Wow! So much great stuff on this list, starting with the likes of Funeral and Pet Sounds. Lots of variety and very few perplexing selections. Good work.

37 in common. Definitely a good chart then. I like the idea of the favorite songs in each album.

I'm really liking the variety of albums in here, especially the one's from the 00's and 10's.

Very good chart but such a shame that there is no "The Cure" album in it.
