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 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.4/100, a mean average of 89.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.0.

Sooo goood!
Nice to see so many 80`s picks!
I grew up in the late 80`s.. it`s so underrated on BEA:
THX for Attwenger.
I haven't heard many of these albums, but I really like the way you dig beyond these bands' best-known albums.
And if you're going to spread the wealth this much, Sigur Ros, the Smiths, and Tom Waits are good choices to name three times.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
