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 82.1/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 17.7.

I really like this list.
LedZep 02/15/2017 19:02
YOU CAN'T TELL ME THERE'S NO GOOD MUSIC AT LEAST IN THE 90S!
Any chart with Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys in it is alright with me

Happy to see the great Rhymes and Reasons at #100. I need it in my chart too.
Very shallow and close-minded chart. Really? Nothing past 1980!?? Nothing before 1961? Were you locked in a room your whole life and forced to only listen to two decades worth of music? This is not a music lover's chart. I will not sugar-coat my response in an effort to be nice. This is unapologetically abysmal.
2/10 because there are actually some good albums in here, but the rating speaks for the chart as a whole.
Very unique!

20 Albums by Walter Wanderley on a Top 100 ?
No albums from the 90's,00's and just one from the 80's ?
This is basically "Top Albums from the 60's, 70's".

Would've loved to see more variety but I need some 60s on my own chart so this will help me discover.
HoldenM 07/25/2015 08:02
Expanded. Got more solid. I love it.
sssvnnn 05/05/2015 22:19
Good music.
The chart trusts in the classical albums.
I hope you expand it to 100 and show us some more music we don´t know.

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 :(
