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 is rated in the top 5% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.7/100, a mean average of 90.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.1.

Great, great list. We have 25 albums and 29 artists in common.
It's been a while since I've listened to Jeff's dad, and I agree with the poster before me. It's nice to see him get some love.

Very nice chart. I disagree with the order on some. I feel like some should be higher and some should be lower. But it still is a good chart regardless.

Revisiting your chart and can't believe how much it has in common with mine -- and my Next 100 from my custom charts. Soo good!
