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 12% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.6/100, a mean average of 86.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.8.

Cool chart. Nice to see Lorde get 2 albums in the top 100.

You got some good albums, you got some good descriptions = everything is on point

Your notes are something to be truly proud of even if the picks are a little *ahem* safe. Great mix of classics young and old - would be nice to see some jazz sneak in :)
Brilliant chart with excellent selections. For sure I'm going to have to check out your Spanish artists.
Hola, I really like your chart. It is a really good mix of decades and genres. I recognised and have many of the albums and on many occasions have similar favourite tracks you mention and equally also don't love some you call out.
I especially love your comments throughout and I actually read them all because they were so interesting and personal.
Unfortunately I am struggling with your number 1 - it's just not landing with me (yet?).
There are a number I have on my list for later listening and I'll come back later to check some of your other picks that I don't know.
Given some of your choices I was maybe a little surprised that Bon Iver never made it - but hey there is only room for 100. But if you haven't heard them give them a listen especially For Emma Forever Ago. You might also like Sigur Ros - very ethereal and electronic.
I really enjoyed reading you chart picks and the descriptions. Nice to see some similarities too with St. Vincent, War on Drugs and Oasis amongst others :)
Eclectic chart. Joni at the top is just awesome. Great comments too.
Very good chart!
