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 84.7/100, a mean average of 83.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.5.

Curiously, i've never paid much attention to Rubber Soul and i'm a Beatles fan. Maybe it's time to re-evaluate that. Other in same category is The Zombies' Odessey & Oracle. Gotta spend some time with these two.
You've many 70's albums on your chart... there's something special about the way they made music back then.

Love your choices! Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook is a fantastic album.
Lots in common. Proper respect given to the Beatles. Great job all around.

Thanks for reminding me how cool the John Prine album is (and Rose Royce, for that matter).
