Rating metrics: Help 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 is rated in the top 7% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.3/100, a mean average of 88.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.7.

This is such a awesome chart, youve given me some things to listen to, I love your little comments "I used to like Pavement, then I stopped liking them, now I like them again", although I found it weird how you said your equal favourite SY albums are EVOL and Washing Machine, then EVOL is #2 and Washing Machine is #97, anyway great chart

Wow I remember hearing Afrirampo a while back but then my stupid brain forgot about them. Thank you so much for reminding me! This chart rules, I'll be taking some rec's and a long overdue re-evaluation of that set fire to flames album from it for sure.

Amazing chart - one of my favorites. Every page makes me think, "man, I should add that album to my chart, or that one." Just so many great albums here. Even some bands I don't know and will have to get to know soon. You might like my custom chart "The Next 100" more than my Top 100, but I think you would dig them both. My one objection: I don't know your age, or if you were listening to Nirvana before Kurt's death, but they had already reached legendary status, and were already a big hit with fans and critics alike. That was what made Kurt's death all the more shocking and painful.
