by avantgardemachines 
THIS IS ROCK ONLY! Jazz is a different story. I also include fusion on here because it counts as rock. Plus it is usually better.

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 72.7/100, a mean average of 59.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 59.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 18.9.

Cool to see SOAD and fusion. But 10 albums is just not nearly enough to cover all the fantastic rock and subgenres albums
Rock Bottom neck and neck with Revolver? I assume this chart is satirical.

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 :(
