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 82.0/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.6.

I see you have been recommended with just about anything. How about Fleetwood Mac - Rumours? Great chart, I must say.

Any reason why you have Neon Bible at 5 but Funeral at 21? I like Neon Bible, but it is no Funeral. Funeral is a freakin masterpiece.

Great list. Racontuers and Hot Chip near the end of the list were entries I don't think I have seen before.
