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 83.1/100, a mean average of 82.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.7.

A different chart for sure and one that had me curious to check out a number of your selections. I really liked the juxtaposition of the Rolling Stones 'Sticky Fingers' & Motley Crew 'Too Fast For Love' album covers.
A bit surprised (in not a good way) to find your one & only Australian album is by Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel - but hey, it's your chart!

interesting chart! Maybe a little english-centric. you definitely have a defined taste and i commend you for that but its not mine
ExTeaSea 05/01/2019 00:47
Nice! Always cool seeing a big love for Tom Waits. Cool chart.

Good to have another Tom Waits fan on BEA.
Maybe you like my "Tom Club (Waits`favs+sound-alikes)" chart.
ForegroundNoise 04/30/2019 08:46
Nice to see Ambient 1 up at the top with the alternative rock picks!
Dead Kennedy's I used to love them what a great choice. Tom Waits can't be disputed a genius
louisjwyatt 10/15/2014 21:04
So much love for Tom Waits. Lover seeing Small Change and Nighthawks in your top ten
MLou 10/15/2014 08:39
yeah! It's great to see the Downward Spiral in the top 5!
HoldenM 10/15/2014 08:04
Neat variety!
Nice chart! Joe's Garage, CSS, That Bad Eartha some of my favs. I had never heard The Battered Wives - they're awesome!

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
