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.

37 albums in common, I mean, almost my twin musical lost brother/sister, where have you been all this time?
CharlieBarley 12/18/2016 23:01 | #180467
Great chart man. Some good indie music on here, 13 albums in common and a few to check out. Good work!
flyingcitrus 05/19/2016 22:29 | #166482
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.
17 albums in common.
dihansse 11/18/2015 20:00 | #153110
We have a lot of albums and artists in common: I should check out bands like The Microphones
