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 82.7/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.4.

Not a great Guns n Roses fan anymore and I don't think Black album is anywhere near the best Metallica albums, but that's just me. Nice to see a new type of chart here, can't be indie all the time

Interesting chart. Lots of great hard rock. Not many people would fess up to putting Metallica's Black that high. I love seeing all the high ranking tool on there!
