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 82.9/100, a mean average of 81.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.2.

Good chart. I loved the way you have great grunge albums like Dirt, Ten, Nevermind and Superunknown in your chart.

The mid-90s has to be one of the best periods for mainstream rock. You actually could turn on the radio or even MTV and hear terrific music.

Great chart. Any chart with respect for grunge and Zeppelin is awesome in my book.
