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 is rated in the top 5% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.6/100, a mean average of 89.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.8.

63 albums over 10000 points, and only 4 under 3000... I want to see what makes this music unique to you! That's hard when so much of it is taken straight from the overall chart. Besides that, your chart is well constructed, and it's clear that you really do enjoy these records—just don't be afraid to branch out and find your own gems hidden in the rough.

OMG 50 ALBUMS IN COMMON! Your chart is perfect. We are so similar it's not even funny. Even the albums we don't have in common I've listened to and they're in my top 200. Check out my chart!
