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 4% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.1/100, a mean average of 89.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.5.

Wow, are we the same person? Our tastes are so similar that I can't help but feel that I need to check out everything I haven't heard from this list, all of which is from Argentina or Brazil.

LOVE this chart - great mix of the classics with lesser known picks, and a healthy dose of South American records. Would love to see some notes for a perfect score!!

Hey, me gustó mucho tu lista: bastante música que no conozco.
Me llamó la atención que tengas mucha música brasileña siendo de Bolivia. Me surgió la duda: ¿se escuchaba mucho por allá o fue un descubrimiento y exploración personal?
Acá en México sólo nos tocó escuchar de Chico Buarque, Os Mutantes y Caetano Veloso, por supuesto. Pero en general para llegar a otros sonidos tienes que aventarte un gran clavado.
En fin, como decía tu lista sirve muy bien de guía.

I have a son your age who I wish was as eclectic musically as you, he has terrible blinkered taste in music. Some great choices, though as you said some of your more interesting choices are in your other charts. I particularly liked Vox Dei & La Union "Salud".
