Rating metrics: Help 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 85.1/100, a mean average of 84.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.2.

I don't agree with a lot of your picks, but they're what I like about your chart. Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Rage, Dream Theater...all bands I respect, but I'd only represent one of them here.

Looks like we're pretty similar, with you having a bit of a harder edge (Metallica, Tool, etc.). I'll give that stuff a chance now!

Starts off classic heavy, but do your tastes definitely show near the end, good job.
