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 75.4/100, a mean average of 65.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 28.3.

I don't have anything against Led Zep or King Crimson, but you know what they say: nothing in excess.

I don't think this is a serious chart and if it is, you have to be biased in your views, 37 albums between 5 artists.
I somehow don't believe this can be true

the second half of this chart suffers a bit for lack of variety..
