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 71.3/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 22.2.

This list, although I know very little about 2000s music vis-à-vis earlier decades, is even worse if anything than NME’s all-time Top 500 Albums list from 2016.
For starters, why is Joanna Newsom, whose four albums are a series of masterpieces not rivalled by anyone, not included for even one of them??
Then there is the whole “freak folk” scene entirely omitted, and too many soppy, annoying pop bands like Blur, the White Stripes, the Strokes and even the overrated Arcade Fire. Having industry representatives, as one “janitor-x” said back when ‘Rolling Stone’ did their first ‘Top 500 Albums’, on a panel is a sure way to make a bad list. It also tend to contradict a great deal of what musicians themselves are likely to know.
Kinda hard to do a greatest list for this decade without at least mentioning Kanye...
I keep trying to like This Is It as much as everyone else does ... it's a cool album but not the best of the decade. Funeral, In Rainbows, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot are all better, to me
Much better than Rolling Stone's list. Arctic Monkeys are well deserving of that spot. Good to see In Rainbows getting the credit it deserves as well.
NME, the best musical magazine ever! take that rolling stone and q the music.
Shocking order really, so-called music experts should know In Rainbows and Kid A are better than where they are. As well as Muse albums should be higher too as well as missing Origins of symmetry...
It's a good one, though very indie-leaning.
Is This It better that Whatever People Say I am, I don´t if that´s ok
I dig The Streets, but not over Dizzee Rascal.
Pretty good list. I like it because as it doesn't put Kid A or Funeral on top as most 2000's charts do. Insteed it shows more of the rock side of the 2000's with Is This It?, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not and Up The Bracket.
