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 is rated in the top 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.8/100, a mean average of 89.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.3.

I love the multilingual chart. I'm trying to figure out if we are clones or twins seperated at birth?

Melhor lista do BEA! Parabéns

Interessante chart! Muita coisa da decada de 70 que não conheço ainda, mas vou procurar conhecer.. Abs

Congratulation, the chart is marvellous. Probably too much 70's but the quality of your picks is very high. Also there are some unknown albums to take a look.
People, try Depois do Fim by Bacamarte. Is a jewel.
Great descriptions in what you like, as well as a great variety of albums.
Personally I put Genesis above Yes, but any chart that has The Lamb in its top 10 is ok by me.
Very good chart... from another Prog fellow...
Well. that´s an outstanding Prog-Rock chart with some rare picks: I`ll be back to check it out!
Você já ouviu a fase progressiva dos Mutantes (A e o Z, Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol)? O que acha? Apesar de não gostar muito assim de rock progressivo, eu ouvia bastante esses dois álbuns.
Bela lista! Muito bom ver a musica brasileira representada aqui!

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
We work very hard to ensure our site is as fast (and FREE!) as possible, and we respect your privacy.
