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 86.0/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.9.

Nice post-hardcore and alternative rock albums (I LOVE Rusty), though I think the 60s and 70s could do with more of a look in. Here are a few from those decades you might enjoy:
The Fall - Live At The Witch Trials
Gang Of Four - Entertainment!
The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat
ps. just out of interest, why so much neglect for the 00s? Does it really deserve >10% of the representation of this current decade? Both of your noughties picks are stellar though :)

Very rarely do I get a feel for who a person is by their chart, but this chart feels so personal that it’s an exception.
Pulling a random album. Before Today by Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti. Never heard it before. Thanks for the suggestion
