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 77.1/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.6.

Interesting choice, I dunno about the Floyd dominating the top thought, thought i'm yet to listen to Animals.

Wow! Our charts have a lot in common! You've inspired me to go check out In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.
By the way, you weren't kidding around with your username were you?!

I am a fan of Pink Floyd too, but I think it's needless to say that you added way too many of their albums. You didn't really leave enough room for other artists. The Dark Side of the Moon is their best album...

Pink Floyd are the best! But Wish You Were Here is the best album.

Interesting - Lots of PF and a live album I wasn't aware of. Radiohead appears to be the new Floyd.
