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 83.7/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 19.8.

Nice chart, includes a lot of variation, and dips both into older and newer periods. Some great artists, like Kate Bush and Dead Can Dance, in there that tend to get overshadowed by the usuals when looking at the big picture.

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 :(
