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 is rated in the top 13% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.4/100, a mean average of 86.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.2.

Great chart. I don't know the Argentinan ones but I will come back and play one soon. Very eclectic, I agree. Superb.

Nice to see TPAB so high!! That said, a little too rock heavy for my taste

A nice representation of many genres. Rock, pop, rap, folk, grunge, even some metal. Modern stuff and classics. Top notch

Nice balance of old and new stuff here. I like the enthusiastic rankings for the likes of OK Computer and Sound of Silver. Very strong chart overall.

Very nice mix of familiars and some more unique ones, particularly the Argentinian ones.
