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 72.7/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 24.9.

I love how you may have the most spine out of anyone here. Don't change for anyone. I like it the way it is.

This may be the worst list on the entire site. Congratulations, at least you'll be known for something.

Where do I begin? Of your top 10, It’s Not Me, It’s You is the only album I would describe as ‘good.’ The Jonas Brothers?! Seriously?! Oh, hey, an Oasis album! Wait… It’s not Definitely Maybe. It’s not (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?. It’s not Don’t Believe the Truth. It’s not Dig Out Your Soul. Lungs by Florence + The Machine is a good album, but still not in the top 200 albums of all-time. I’m a huge Beatles fan, but I’m still confused as to why you chose LOVE. You could have chosen literally any of their studio albums, but you chose a remixed compilation album. </rant>

OK, I'm confused. Why did I give this chart an 85 originally? The mention of The Smiths tells me it must have been very different before. I don't know if you're just challenging us or having some fun with us (or maybe you're 12 years old), but either way, I feel it's necessary to change my rating. Sorry.

I can say the exact same to you, your's is one of the worst lists, no the worst
In musical terms i can't really take any of these albums seriously
The only reason i gave it a score, was due to Jay Z, but now that I have looked through it once more, it is so bad it doesn't deserve a score
