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 86.4/100, a mean average of 85.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.2.

I'd love to see some more 21st century stuff. Based on what you do have, give alt-J a listen.

Pretty standard :) And standard in this case is good because your chart is filled with classic/great records.

A great quantity of my alltime favourites here!

People don't seem to have much to say about this chart. Is that a good thing? Are they speechless? I'll say that this is a chart worthy of respect.

Good chart, 1 or 2 I haven't listened to yet that I'll consider.
Quite good
