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 10.6.

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. (Edited)

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