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 82.4/100, a mean average of 80.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.1.

I hesitate to rate your chart because there is a lot of stuff on it I don't know. No reflection on your chart -I'm just too ancient. The albums I am familiar with I like a lot. Lots of top-notch albums that fly under the radar like Up the Bracket, Vauxhall and I and the coolest entry I am yet to find on any chart I've come across - Magnapop's Hot Boxing. A fantastic cd that no one was even interested in when it came out. A shame. Great list.

Great chart man, Im a huge fan of R.E.M and The National, both being one of my most favorite bands. dEUS I've heard some songs of them, they are from Belgium right? Their debut is really weirdly-good.

I don't really like the Doors, Killers or Oasis, but I do feel like the chart has personality. Plus the Elbow, Libertines and Afghan Whigs provide a counterbalance.

There's a lot of stuff here that I love, and a bunch of stuff that I'm pretty indifferent too, but there's not much that I don't like.

I like it, but it's a bit weird that The King Is Dead is your favourite album by The Decemberists, oh well :P
