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 66.2/100, a mean average of 46.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 46.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 25.1.

A fine homage to great U2,but i think your chart needs a little variety!
LOL U2

I think someone likes U2 a BIT too much... :O
My chart contains only albums I own physically! Btw I haven't put them in the right order (yet).
