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 85.4/100, a mean average of 84.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.3.

From AMEIER 06/22/2015 03:55

I really love your list because you have so many Beatles albums and also You've putted In Rainbows on the #3 spot. It's really great, and my favorite Radiohead album.

From flynn4red 03/26/2015 01:23

No, I was being harsh, mate. Good list, with some undeniable classics. Just not a huge deal of variety, which is something I'd look for. But hey - we all have different tastes (which is what makes this site slightly self-defeating, but anywho).

Also, as fun as "AM" is, it's kind of only got two great tracks (admittedly, I'm not much of a Monkeys fan).

But keep on listening! Keep on loving music, brother.

Nevermind should be at least 10 places higher, led zeppelin 4 only in eight? Your chart, your rules but you may consider changing that. Except for those albums, this is one of the best charts I've seen.
