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 5% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.9/100, a mean average of 91.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.1.

"Forever Changes":
I discoverd the album on BEA. I didn´t know it since I heard serveral songs of the album on YouTube not long ago.
There are simply lot´s of albums I know since decades and they mean a lot to me - these are the albums in my decade chart.
"The Who":
I kow them since decades: I don´t hate them, I don´t love them.
I cannot really explain why...Maybe they are just not My Generation.
every album is a masterpiece !!!

Very psychedelic. But....100 albums from the 1960s and no Who?
NickVolos 10/30/2013 18:46 | #89830
Nice chart sssvnnn. I like seeing the "It's a long way down" in it but surprised not seeing "Forever Changes".
