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 86.1/100, a mean average of 86.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.2.

Great chart. Hard to argue with your number one pick. I think Eleanor Rigby and Tomorrow Never Knows are my two favorite songs of all time

Well, ok, if you think so :'( ...
Harvey told me to promote this page. So here you go. PROMOTION! Yay music!
Good chart with some albums I also have on my chart. Loving the inclusion of some Kanye West towards the end as well.

I don't know why you rank Nevermind at top, but your other choices are brilliant, especially MLIR at 2.
