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 interesting range!
JulianR 12/14/2017 04:55
Interesting, and a healthy mix of many genres
LedZep 03/22/2017 20:54
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
We are kind of like music soul mates. And if its not on my list, its because im limited to 50 right now.

love the mesh of genre, something I avoided thinking it wouldn't work but clearly you've made it work wonders

Amazing chart! Your list displays great classics and some fine selections as well.
I'm honored to find out that we have 16 selections in common.
Congrats for your excellent research work!

Terrific chart.
We have 9 artists and 9 albums in common.

This is a really stylish chart. I guess you probably checked out fact magazine. That's a great source for cool, underground music.
Lots of cool jazz and r&b mixed in with some diverse rock. Excellent

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
