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 89.3/100, a mean average of 89.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.4.

Excelente chart! Muy moderno y con pocos clásicos de los 60' y de los 70', cosa que prácticamente no se notó en el chart ya que elegiste albumes increíbles de los 90' y de los 2000. Personalmente, prefiero mucho mas la selección que va del 11 al 20 puesto, es decir la segunda pagina, que el top ten. La variedad de música en el chart es realmente admirable, porque tenes desde Rock progresivo, con albumes como In The Court y The Dark Side, hasta Jazz, Rock alternativo, Folk, y hasta Psicodelico. Eso es simplemente increíble. Sin embargo, creo que podrías incluir algo de música de tu propio país, que, aunque no conozco ningun album, seguro tiene grandes cosas. Además, mostrar música de tu propio país es uno de los objetivos del sitio para mi, para que otros puedan conocer albumes y artistas de otras partes del mundo. En resumen, muy buen chart!
PD: COMO LES CABIO EL GOL DE PISCU VIEJA!!!!!!!!!

I like this list a lot! I'll have to check out some of the 80s albums, since I'm a fan of most of the rest of this stuff.
