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 87.1/100, a mean average of 85.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.2.

That's what I call an eccentric chart. Great variation, no pandering and honestly props for some of these (U2's Pop). I hope to see a few descriptions in the future.

cool list!
Me gustó tu lista pero tengo la duda de si no crees que ningun disco en español merece un top 100 ?

I like it a lot, I hope I don't forget to explore this chart further in the future.

Nice picks you agree with most of the BEA Chart of Overall.

Eclectic chart, added a couple records to my wishlist that I hadn't heard of yet. Keep movin'.
Good chart!...... I was just listening to Amnesiac!
Agree with most of your picks man
Muchos discos a los que no les he entrado: habrá que irlos revisando de a poco. Creo que sí está muy cargada a los 80s y 90s, pero le pasa a todos. La mía se mueve entre los 90s (donde hay varias coincidencias) y los 2000s.

This is a good chart. It's evident you have an appreciation for music:)

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 :(
