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 85.9/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.0.

Great chart. Found it because it's one of the few charts with Patti Smith at #1.

Wow, a lot in common with me, surprised to see Easter Everywhere, Journey in Satchinadanda and Pink Flag which are on my list too! Don't see them on lists here very often

This is a mix of stuff I love and some stuff I don't, but there's more of the former. Good to see Tribute to Jack Johnson.

"More personnel than a true reflection of the best albums ever." Try "personal." ;) Nice list though!
