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 84.4/100, a mean average of 81.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.7.

Some solid choices man nice chart
As I own the vast majority of the titles in your chart, you have to get a really good score. Love the fact that you have 2 Ryan Adams albums in there. Great artist.
