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 85.5/100, a mean average of 85.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.8.

We actually have the same top 2, but some of the rest isn't my taste. Overall though, looks good.

I keep seeing or hearing the name, "Bon Iver" from discerning music listeners. It's making me curious. Hmmm.... Nice list overall.
