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 86.0/100, a mean average of 84.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.2.

This is pretty interesting. Don't know many albums here, but those I do are fantastic. UFO are so underrated, and Vol 4. in the top 10 is a pleasant surprise.

Tom Lehrer in your chart is fantastic! What a performer in his heyday! Marty Robbins, Carpenters too. I love it. I'm waiting for your peersonal comments to your albums, though!
Great variety and many acts I haven't noticed before.
