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 76.9/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 19.7.

This is a strong start. Would love to see you expand this list. Nice to see Reflektor on here--it's a tough choice for me to decide which I like better, that one or Funeral. Keep expanding!

Glad to see some albums as Pale Communion or the number one but the chart isn't representative. I encourage you to explore music from other ages.

Not a bad chart, a very modern indeed. I am not saying that the music from here is bad, in fact i really like Muse, but you should know that you are ignoring a lot of excellents bands and albums, the bests for me, wich is the music of the 60' and 70'. And you dont have even one album of that decades! Anyway, good chart, but i think you have to expand your tastes.

Mastodon looks good on here... Some dubious choices, but I like how it's giving credence to some modern albums.

Good stuff from the latest era of rock. Would be great to be rounded with more 70s, 80s and early 90s. Still is good start. Regards from Rocko.

You got some under-rated albums on here. I love One Hot Minute, Renegades. Some good Green Day picks as well. Never heard of Kill the Young, I'll have to check em out.

Yeah not bad, there's just not much diversity here, especially when the majority of your top 10 are albums from the previous 10 years or so. Don't get me wrong Muse are great but I seriously don't believe that if you listened to some older classics and even some other post-britpop acts that you'll still think the 2nd law is your second favourite album of all time. But hey each to their own, like i said some decent choices but i really think you ought to experience the vast majority of other brilliant bands/records that are out there, or more simply right here on this site.

Nice to see some albums I think are really underrated getting some love (the 2nd Law and Renegades specifically), but Coldplay is probably my least favorite band :(
