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 78.8/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.2.

Thanks ! If you like the XX, you have to hunt down Young Marble Giants' "Colossal Youth". The essence of minimal rock. And "Fear of a Blank Planet" is cool :)

From 8 I think It's fair enough that are picked out 5. anyway by seeing your chart, I like some of your selection (e.g Bob Dylan, Strokes, Genesis,Blur and also Van halen). but I never agree with your reasoning about Radiohead. maybe It's due to the fact that they aren't "antique" in the same way as Beatles! good luck with "I Never Choose Radiohead Albums"

like your chart, i have to say that i know and ive heard almost all the albums of your chart, but i find myself always going back to the old stuff. What can i say, i love the classic rock :) On the other hand, you know, i think the first album of the Arctic Monkeys is better than the second one!
