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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.9/100, a mean average of 94.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 94.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 4.4.

It's a good start, I know you said the albums are mainly from the 90's on, but that takes nothing away from this chart, there are some really great choices in there. I do hope you try delve deeper into past decades over time and discover more albums you enjoy (Trust me, it's worth it). Anyway, really cool chart!
