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 is rated in the top 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.7/100, a mean average of 90.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.1.

Very cool and diverse, rap, jazz, indie, rock and then all of a sudden Slayer... Love that element of surprise, especially since I'm something of a metal fan myself. The only thing lacking here is prog rock, but of course you can't have everything and it's not that important for overall impression

This is a really stylish chart. I guess you probably checked out fact magazine. That's a great source for cool, underground music.
