AV = the site mean average rating.

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 79.9/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 17.1.

Nice chart!! Some notes to why these albums are your faves (especially the Polish picks!) would make a great addition :)
DommeDamian 03/10/2019 09:24 | #233347
Having Michael in your top 10 (twice), already is a win-win ;)
Then 5 of his albums, plus some other classics like Nirvana. Holy....
Besides maybe two, there's not one single bad/mediocre LP here.
HoldenM 08/25/2015 00:37 | #148449
I like it a lot.
rafalink 08/24/2015 13:29 | #148377
I like some albums, but the list is very repetitive. I liked to see some albums from your own country, I'll look for some of that.
Interesting Bowie Jackson combination. Glad to see Low from Bowie! Keep on digging my friend.

Really nice :D

Fun to see the big role of Miccheal Jackson on your chart.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

It's honest, so I like it.

Really unique mix... there's nothing wrong with a little Michael Jackson in your chart.
