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 6% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.5/100, a mean average of 89.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.7.

Really nice chart - and certainly a lot of UK albums that went under my radar that I can spend a few days between Xmas/New Year 2022 checking out. Glad to see ONE Aussie album/artist make the list. My favourite UK albums from the 90's are Richard Thompson - You Me Us; Aztec Camera - Stray; Best of The Waterboys; Placebo & The Beloved.

Great depth, though would be nice to see some more stuff outside of the bracket of alternative rock!

Excellent chart! Nevermind, Automatic for the People, Dummy, and The Bends are all fantastic albums. I also really love Slanted & Enchanted as your #1 pick, which makes me wonder how it didn't end up in my nineties chart. Seems like an obvious oversight--thanks for helping me catch it!

Another great chart. Nice to see some great shoegaze bands like Boo Radleys, Chapterhouse and Adorable getting some love on here!
