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 53.1/100, a mean average of 38.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 38.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 32.0.

Good joke
not nice.
This is surely a joke
I understand you're trying to make a statement here... but I'm tired of these 'worst' charts. They give credence (and points for the rankings) to albums you don't like. Make a statement about what you do like. It's much more interesting.
this has to be someone's idea of a joke
Smells like troll!
Sorry but any greatest album chart that includes Miley Cyrus and Nickelback is, to be kind, not good.
I seriously hope this chart is a joke.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
