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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.1/100, a mean average of 91.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.9.

Just been surfing the site and not sure how I got here but, wow. A short and sweet chart; from the records I am familiar with (I've reviewed 7 out of the 20 in your chart) I trust that the others are worth checking out. Would love to see some notes on the records for a perfect score from me!!
ps. I'm interested to know why you've put that version of Music For 18 Musicians over the original (which is no.2 in my own chart), I've never listened to that recording - is it in your opinion better than the 1978 version?

Great list! It's nice to see Luciano Cilio,
This Heat, and Steve Reich up there.
I would recommend Colin Stetson if you don't already listen to him.

Suddendly Swans Are Dead appear, and you got all my appreciation too
Love seeing Welcome to Sky Valley in the top 5!!
We'll ain't this chart a treat. There's maybe 20 albums I'm not familiar with and 1 in Merriweather PP that I just don't get but that leaves around 79 albums that I'd quite happily be stuck on a desert island with. Really should find room for cLOUDDEAD on my chart.
Very nice chart full of masterpieces. JS Bach! I love it

The albums we have in common are just... INCREDIBLE albums... I'm looking for more that have that same sound Ágætis Byrjun, Ladies And Gentlemen..., and (parts of) The Soft Bulletin all seem to share, can you recommend a few to me? Thank you!
In return: please check out Good Morning Spider by Sparklehorse. It's a truly great record that more people need to hear.
a lot of good stuff here.

i'd recommend checking out In The Aeroplane Over The Sea By Neutral Milk Hotel, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot By Wilco and Lonerism By Tame Impala
