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 60.8/100, a mean average of 41.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 41.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 26.9.

Sorry to say, but on a previous page I clicked on the chart link with the lowest rating and was curious. But you have some of my dearest artists listed. Fuck the naysayers - those people are dingbats. They also might not exist.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
Good variety, although most are very average albums in my view
10 points for variety.

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 :(
