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 75.7/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 18.6.

Strangeways, Here We Come instead of the queen is dead, Come On Pilgrim instead of Doolittle, first impression of earth instead Is This It?, The Head On The Door instead of Disintegration, Transmissions From The Satellite Heart instead of Yoshimi battles the pink robot, Brighten The Corners instead of Slanted & Enchanted, EVOL instead of daydream nation, Keep It Like A Secret instead of Perfect From Now On.......... is this what you really think ? i find this extremely intriguing ...

some albums are simply over-exposed

Our tastes couldn't be more different but I respect that the albums and groups you list are considered the best of their genre.
