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.

Love your choices! Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook is a fantastic album.

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

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.
