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 86.6/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.5.

Most of the albums on this list would be in my top 100 chart (if only I had enough points). But I've not heard Antlers before. Seems like I should give them a go. (That's a good aspect of this site - it introduces you to bands that you should like.)

Not a perfect chart, but dang close. Lots of picks in common.

nice chart
Lots of good stuff on this chart! I'll definitely be coming back to it!
