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 82.5/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.2.

Enjoy this chart quite a bit! I appreciate the inclusion of London Calling and Nebraska.
Arthurknight 10/23/2014 11:17
yeah a very personal chart and i respect that
Great chart! Congrats on being the chart of the day!
This is clearly a very personal chart, not just a list of regarded classics. I have to admit to a lack of familiarity with a fair portion of it but what I do know is pretty good. I've listened to a bit of Modest Mouse on Spotify and was undecided but I'll definitely pay them another visit after seeing your chart.
Some really nice variety in your chart, with some great albums :)
Really good chart. Like it a lot.

One of my favorite charts on this site anyways, and then you add The Mantle. Are you trying to get in my pants?
A truly great list. Arthur and Quadrophenia in the top 10, spot on as far as I'm concerned.

A little heavy for my taste, but still a very solid chart.
junodog4 03/05/2012 00:11
Really interesting! Diverse without being pretentious... Great inclusion of Black Star and Deltron. Your list is the kind that makes me listen to what I don't have - the best appraisal.
