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 86.5/100, a mean average of 86.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.8.

a good chart none the less, but i'm super intrigued by the inclusion of kerplunk and evanescence at 9 and 10, got some classics mixed in with some pleasant surprises here, not bad

bonafini - would Green Day, Blink-182, Evanescence, Raditude, HIM and Taking Back Sunday be the majority of the bad shit by any chance?
Kind of going off Radiohead. Might remove all their albums and replace them with Good Charlotte's entire discography.
