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 83.6/100, a mean average of 81.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.2.

I love this chart! To see the best albums by John Coltrane, Mos Def, Black Star, GZA, The Beastie Boys, The Orb and DJ Shadow on a chart with many of the most respected rock classics is both refreshing and encouraging! Thank you..

Cool chart. Great vibe throughout. Just curious - why do you hate Pearl Jam so much?

You should add some stuff from the 50's 60's, 70's, 80's... Then this chart would be great
