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 86.6/100, a mean average of 86.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.2.

Même s'il y a quelques albums présents dans ta liste avec lesquelles je possède moins d'affinité, je trouve que tu as créé une très bonne "chart" et je compte bien écouter quelques albums que je ne connaissais pas et qui ont, par conséquent, piquer ma curiosité, dont Burst Apart pour n'en citer qu'un

Very good chart.
Lot´s of picks I like a lot.
It could be even more courageous and indroduce some more rare and surprising albums.

J'apprécie l'audace de placer In Evening Air de Future Islands au 1er rang d'une liste globale. Album d'un excellent groupe qui se démarque grandement de la majorité des bands de rock alternatif des 2000s et +.
En général, très bonnes listes mixant d'excellents classiques et de sorties contemporaines rafraîchissantes, notamment Burst Apart, Smother High Violet, Tomorrow's Harvest et There Is Love In You.

Interesting, vintage-leaning chart! I like it. I was actually brought here by your hate for The Bangles' All over the Place, which I think is decent. (Edited)
