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 84.3/100, a mean average of 83.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.4.

To hell with originality. It's what you like and there is some good stuff on here.
interesting chart. 70s and 00s heavily represented. Nearly 25% crossover with my chart.

A little bit standard but that doesn't matter. There are some interisting albums on there but also some that I don't get like adele's.
