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 85.7/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.4.

Is there a way we could lure you out of the "What album are you listening to right now" thread? :)

I have much respect for this chart. SF Sorrow and The VU Self titled and BLANK GENERATION! Also love what you did with 91 and 92.... Clever as fuck! An Black on Both Sides is a surprise. And we share much respect for London Calling... Great!
I actually do like Green Day. Like is all. No albums I love. But I am not bothered by your number 1, quite refreshing actually. And your name kind of gave it away for me. Ha!
And I will totes listen to that album by Julian Casablancas... Haven't gotten around to it yet.
You know what I do love that you probably have already heard? Albert Hammond Jr's "Yours To keep". That's probably in my top 300. Really solid album. What do you think of his stuff?
Anyway, peace.

I really love this list. I must admit that I'm not a fan of Green Day, some Muse (though I love OOS), Mika, the latest Strokes releases, Arctic Monkeys, and a few other things, but Forever Changes, Marquee Moon, Genesis, of Montreal and the Violent Femmes album easily counterbalance that. A list I reckon would be very interesting with more time and listening experience. I'm keeping an eye on it ;-)
Also, yeah, why don't you post more on the forums? You seem really cool.

Too much Metallica for my taste, not saying is a bad thing, but I just dont like them.
Phrazes For The Young, that was a shocker, I think I´ve never seen that album in a top 10 ever. Good pick, I wouldnt say is a great album, but I can stand it more than most of the stokes albums
