I first listened to this album when I was 15 and from that day decided that the British make the best music. Period. I wasn't entirely right, of course, but for a time this album was a sort of point of reference; if a band was described as sounding like The Stone Roses, I probably liked them.

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 85.9/100, a mean average of 84.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.5.

How did this chart get selected as "chart of the day" two times in 6 months when there are 1000s to choose from?

Pretty varied, and it's nice to see a bunch of Beck so high (and they're my favorite Beck albums). Nice chart overall.
