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 76.6/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.1.

Interesting, but there are some challenging choices there.

A very interesting and unusual chart. I doubt there are many charts on this site with more Donna Summer; in fact, I never knew she'd recorded seven albums. Tusk and Purple Rain are terrific selections, and I like Hearts and Bones in your top ten.

I was looking more for the middle of the chart, and found the albums that I really loved. The top 10 is pretty unique one. And I surprised from some more stuff, like placing low Arcade Fire, I always love charts that doing it XD. Summing up, interesting chart.
