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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.8/100, a mean average of 91.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.7.

I would love some descriptions on what makes these albums special to you. Also, 19 artists in common.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
Since your latest (2023) revisions to this chart, we have 2 album in common - whereas previously we had ZERO.
I appreciate where you are coming from and respect your tastes in music and the honesty in your selections.

I'm returning to give you a 100 because I agree with your statement about box sets/comps. AND THIS MUSIC IS JUST SO GODAMM COOL. Just like everything else in this world, we don't have to have identical tastes to appreciate any other's love for music.
It really is such a cool chart. Happy Listening :D
