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 76.6/100, a mean average of 68.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.6.

Nice best of the 2000s list. Wish you'd expand to other decades, too!

Not bad on the whole! (other than im not sure 3 kanye and 2 MCR albums can be in the best ever albums.)

There's a bunch of good albums here, but they're mixed in with junk that certainly does not deserve to be there. The Killers above Arcade Fire, seriously?

Solid list. Love many of the albums listed. What happened to the 90's though?
