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 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.5/100, a mean average of 89.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.7.

ace chart as usual my friend, and clearly I need to listen to Bembeya Jazz National because that they seem very up my alley
Hey man this chart is pretty cool. I think I will pick up some recommendations from the latter half.

Great selections, awesome to see some love for The Beach Boys, Nick Drake and Mingus.

Good to see The Smiths, Dylan, Beatles and The Cure. Unconventional and broad-ranging chart. Music from a lot of different countries. Good work Mr Bates!

Interesting, but I can't seem to forget your reply to my post… You don't like Genesis?? Feel sorry for you :D (This does not affect my rating on chart though)
