AV = the site mean average rating.

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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.9/100, a mean average of 90.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.4.

Try Enigma MCMXC a.D. is a similar album or even better than your number 1
Eclectic. Great selections
I like this chart a lot and see heaps of personality shining through. Especially like seeing the love for Canadian & Australian artists.
great, but 5 alice cooper and 5 xtc albums?
Looks like the chart of someone who enjoys a good time.
Great chart!

Fantastic chart! Crime of the Century top ten! Some excellent ones in common. So many others I love as well. I should check it your other charts too.

Honestly, I haven't liked a lot of people's number 1's on this site but this a respectable number 1. The music speaks for itself and is beautiful.

I absolutely love how every pick seem so natural and yet the chart stays extremely personnal and inspired.
DommeDamian 10/17/2018 09:37 | #222650
This chart looks SO different than mine, yet we still share over 10 artists in common. And Demon Days in the freaking 10?!?!!? 100%
