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 9% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.0/100, a mean average of 88.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.2.

Very surprised to see the Nick Cave and Cat Power - Cover Albums as your favourites from both of them. But also happy to see Tindersticks or Violent Femmes. Good chart!

Great chart! Some new stuff to listen here. Amazing
Like your chart! Some things I know and others that I don't. Great for exploring. Seeing Portishead, Tindersticks and dEUS at the top makes me feel like I will definitely find something great in your chart.

Great Chart! A lot to discover for me
Great seeing Nick Cave in top 10. He is becoming one of the all time greats.

A really great chart! A little bit of everything and no more than 2 picks by a single artist.
