These are my favorites albums! I have not heard every album yet. I have heard a lot of other albums that are not on this list because i did not like them at all or I did not like them as much as the albums that are presently on the list.

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 76.6/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 19.6.

Agree 100% with vinnid127. Maybe lacks personality, even though there are some great choices. Try adding descriptions, it makes the chart so much better!

Pretty nice chart, really heavy on indie but I think that's a good thing.

good 21 century albums; but 90's, 60's and 70's are more powerful, than in your chart

Now it is better my friend! Although i think you have a long way to go, you made great changes that will be more visibles in the top 100 chart

There are some good choices, specially out of the top ten. However, you only included albums from this century, so you should know that you are losing a lot of excellent music. Also you did many drastical changes, I mean, you basically changed the whole chart, and that is not a detail. Maybe you have to think more the changes before doing them, as they are really important. I will be expecting the updates!

He's only level 3 which means he can only have one chart called the Greatest Music Album chart and only 50 entries. Sure it may be only from the last 10 years but it's not his fault he can't change the name of his chart. What he does have on the chart however is all high quality listening.
