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 86.6/100, a mean average of 86.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.2.

very little here I haven't listened to, and everything I have listened to is awesome. LOVE to see some praise for Dopesmoker, that's a fun album/song.

I'd also love to see this expanded to 100!

I like your chart, i like that you like Kyuss good for the stoner rock. I give you 90 Percent. Good choice but i can´t agree with your number 1 but the rest is ok.

Some really nice stuff here, loved the hip hop picks nudged up against the metal. Some notes would be great!

Great chart, so many cool choices. Always cool to see bands that you would rarely associate musically with each other, like Sonic Youth and Wilco, in the same chart.

I like this chart. Lots of variety and great albums. For an chart with only 50 albums, maybe a little less artist repetition? Expand this to 100.
