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 85.6/100, a mean average of 84.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.3.

Como a lista é pequena, em vez de comentar sobre ela, deixo umas recomendações, associadas aos albúns que tem na lista:
Beatles "Revolver" --> The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds"
Beach House "Teen Dream" --> The Phoenix Foundation "Buffalo"
The Flaming Lips "Soft Bulletin" --> The Beta Band "The Three EPs"
;)

Muito boa esta lista! Fiquei impressionado com a inclusão desse álbum dos Modest Mouse. É um álbum maravilhoso, de facto. E parabéns pelos numerosos representantes portugueses. Sabe sempre bem ver listas com a Banda do Casaco, GNR ou Mler If Dada. Continua ;)

Boas escolhas, mas aparenta (talvez) um pouco imaturo musicalmente. Sinto que poderias expandir teu gosto por gêneros musicais. Ou sei lá, apenas 40 itens seja pouco para demonstrar isso.

Thought I'd rate your chart too since you have rated so many of mine. Interesting mix of modern albums, all-time classics and some Portuguese ones.

Not agree with "Brothers" at the first place and with "Highway 61 Revisited" at the end, but I must admit our chart is interesting.
