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 85.0/100, a mean average of 83.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.8.

Excellent list! Nice to see some less familiar picks among obvious classics such as Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and London Calling.
jhuik 08/21/2015 21:37
Definitely a cool chart, populated heavily with the master of cool, Lou Reed. I like the out-of-the-ordinary choices like Air, Husker Du, Antony & the Johnsons and Bill Hicks.
tgarritsen 11/16/2014 23:23
Yeah , loving that huge presence of Lou Reed on your chart.
Great chart but yes should include a studio album by THE SMITHS
Wow!
Lots of nice picks in this chart....good work although I must disagree with your comment about The Smiths albums being uneven ;-)
TheHolyKiwi 11/16/2014 09:36
Excellent and DIVERSITY, like everyone else has stated. Very neat chart my friend.
HoldenM 11/16/2014 09:25
What Precedent said. Ton of diversity.
