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 84.3/100, a mean average of 82.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.3.

Thanks! I haven't actually ranked these yet. I've just been adding albums as I go. I do plan to change the greatest hits at some point. For now it's just there as a reminder to myself.:)

this chart is different, and with a lot of surprises,(gives it a bam!) what seems simple in the first page of albums, becomes really interesting soon as this chart goes, like you have the classics and the new ones, but they are really new...like really really. Even some of them not being my cup of tea. hahaha good one

I'm full of surprises! Haha. I love Breaking Benjamin about as much as I love Eminem. I don't think there is a single song from them that I don't like, and they give me goose bumps, so they've got to be high up there. :D
