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 81.8/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.8.

Imagine calling Pitchfork a "powerful source of music knowledge".
Okay chart though, it's what you would expect from Pitchfork.

Love 9 of the albums, so quite good but no Massive Attack, Muse or coldplay, they have great albums.
Great they have Radiohead but not too much else to latch onto.

This is definitely a pretty solid chart. I can't decide if I like this or NME better. Like NME, the order of the albums bothers me a little, but overall the album selection is nice. However, I'm a little inclined to tilt toward the NME list because Pitchfork has no Muse :(
