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 87.1/100, a mean average of 86.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.7.

Nice stuff! Nick Cave always needs more appreciation. Have you checked out his more recent stuff? I love "Push The Sky Away," and "Skeleton Tree" is also very good.

Very nice chart! Funeral and Doolittle are strong selections; good to see them getting some love. Your chart makes me think I need to give Nick Cave a bump in my lists.

Really excellent chart. Touches upon so many of my own personal favorites that it looks like it could be my own chart.
