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 85.0/100, a mean average of 83.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.5.

Stone Roses' self-titled is a common album in many charts. Got to listen!

Yes, Abbey Road may be the best album ever, but Ola still may be a ciockster.

It's hard to believe that one person can love all these albums. Something must have happened (or did not happen) after listening to the Beatles. Good Albums though.
