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 88.7/100, a mean average of 89.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.9.

Gotta love a chart that ranks 17 home grown Brazilian artists/albums in a top 100.

Really enjoyed this chart! Great mix of artists and genres and it's spread nicely over the decades. Loved seeing Jeff Buckley and Air right near the top. Must have a listen to some of those Brazilian artists.
