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 78.5/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 20.3.

The best of pitchfork's decade charts
Pink Floyd's Dark Side and The Wall beat out by the Ramones and Genesis not even charting for Selling England and The Lamb? It's hard to take Pitchfork seriously.
NO PINK FLOYD AT TOP 10, NOOOOO
Pitchfork's lists are dope. This ain't no exception.
It's great they chose too give recognition too funk with the addition of Sly and the familly stone and Funkadelic so high but I think the number one spot isn't really right.
4 Miles Davis, 3 Wire albums, "Meddle" above "Dark Side of the Moon"? I don't know sometimes...
