AV = the site mean average rating.

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 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.7/100, a mean average of 89.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.8.

Very good chart. Love me some Teletubbies. Big fan of Po.

Still magical, like pudding

This is a very cool chart! Love that you have Aphex Twin, Four Yet and Harmonium. Surprised we have no albums in common.
ForegroundNoise 01/05/2019 10:13 | #228979
Such a great chart, all the picks I do recognise are fantastic - if a little weighted towards this decade? Love the smattering of notes as well
I don’t know almost nothing on your chart, only 1 album in common! I confess that I’m impressed!

If this chart was a wild egg, I would break it slowly and drink its multicolored yolk slowly, revealing an odd sweet hallucinogenic taste, since when are my fingers infinite worms anyway?
This is beautiful, would like to understand the dreamy machine inside your head? maybe it would break all the spell? I love this chart, cheers.

Deerhoof are nuts, I love them already. At first the album just seems like crazy noise pop with kooky vocals but as the album progresses it grows on you, well it did me. There are some definite melodies and interesting sounds. I heard Stereolab before but this is unique. Very refreshing, Dave. I also checked out the mellow tones of Burial and I gave the Talk Talk album another spin. I had heard that one, it's ace man. So thanks for introducing Deerhoof. Next I will listen to an album of theirs with Mr Rodriguez in it. If I get time I can check out other albums in your chart.
