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 87.0/100, a mean average of 87.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.2.

Nice 80's alt rock picks. Would have liked some more diversity though.

Nice chart! Though a little too focused on 70s/80s alternative rock for my liking

Great list and i love almost all of these albums. However, the best thing I ever did as a listener was to branch out to other genres besides rock (Jazz, Hip Hop, R&B, Electronica). Give them a try!

Holy crap I like your chart! 80s new wave does not get the love it deserves from many on this site so kudos for that alone, but your choices... well they were choice. Extra points for the Numan. I haven't heard of the FutureHeads, but will definitely be looking into them now.
