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 6% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.5/100, a mean average of 87.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.3.

Not sure about Blackstar being Bowie's best, but it's a great chart

Excellent, it doesn't get a lot better than The Smiths, Morrissey and Nick Drake. And Radiohead too I suppose.
