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 85.5/100, a mean average of 84.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.0.

Great chart, 25 in common with my own.
I think you have been on a similar journey listening to the top couple of hundred albums and I know most of the albums you call out and there aren't any that I know that I can't understand why you included them - they are top albums.
I like when people give commentary to explain a choice and I would have scored your chart higher - we share 32 albums after all so I like your chart.
Never heard of Therapy? or The Editors or System Of A Down or Black Box Revelation albums but may get round to checking them out.
Noted a bit of heavy metal feel when not investigating the highly rated albums – noted Beautiful Freak creeps in (Eels are outstanding) and Daft Punk being Homework in addition to the more popular Discovery, and the under appreciated Elbow, and the less popular Antics by Interpol which I love.
Strangel 06/20/2018 07:05
Really like your taste in music.
I give you a high rating for taste alone. Some commentary on your choices would bump it up a level or two again.
LedZep 05/27/2017 12:23
It's a shame that 4 Metallica albums are too much for most people here, and still 8 Radioheads in some charts are just fine. And I love Radiohead
Completely my taste, although I miss some surprises, as all 100 are in my vinyl/CD collection... anyway 90 is my maximum rating so far!
buzzdainer 06/07/2016 17:33
Excellent chart! Tough to disagree with your high rankings for Funeral and London Calling.
RasmV 01/25/2016 17:22
A third of the albums are on my chart too..!
Space-Dementia 01/17/2016 22:34
52 in common! I kept looking for an album I had never heard of, and I think I only found like three. We're so alike it's not even funny.
dihansse 12/02/2015 18:34
Apart from our nationality we have a lot of albums in common: great list!

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 :(
