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 84.2/100, a mean average of 81.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 17.4.

Too much coldplay, too much conventional pickings but seems to be evolving.

I like your chart, it has some great moments. Too much Coldplay in my opinion, and dont get me wrong, I love their old stuff a lot. "I'm With You" by the RHCP, weird choice.

Not a whole lot of variety in your choice of artists, really. Nearly half is taken up by 5 artists. BUT...obviously a work in progress. Interested to see how it progresses.
