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 84.0/100, a mean average of 82.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.7.

Interesting, but it is always a problem to not look carefully at older music, and one comes away with the feeling that the reader has missed something. This is especially true without any notes to explain the choices, especially the complete lack of music between 1980 and 1993.

I respect your choices and being true to what resonates with you. Good to see 4 Aussie albums in the chart.

Love how darig this chart is! Don't know most of these records which is a big plus as there's a lot this chart can give, and judging by the cover arts and album titles I feel like theres a great personal theme going on whilst some kind of variation is maintained, somehow I don't mind so many modern picks. Notes would definitely make this perfect!

Love this chart, Polygondwanaland has become my favourite album so I love seeing it near the top of your chart. This chart also has 11 albums in common with my top 50 chart so I might take some recs from here. Good stuff!

Enjoyable chart and some cool selections. Though
only 8 albums pre 1990 suggests time to spread those wings.
