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 81.9/100, a mean average of 79.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.3.

hey nathan, certainly there are more better albums than 'raising sand' - i guess my chart is more about music that influenced me the most, not only musical brilliancy!

Pretty cool chart. Some great artists, but not necessarily the albums you'd expect. Nice job!

Your chart boasts some cool picks, but it doesn't feel anywhere near expansive enough and the ordering feels thrown together. And you seriously think that there are only nineteen albums out there better than Raising Sand??
