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 12% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.7/100, a mean average of 88.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.9.

24 albums in common with mine. Any chart that has that much Elbow and Radiohead, and Everything Everything, Smiths, Verve and Bloc Party is a good'un in my view.
like almost al of your picks

Great chart. I like you took here great artists a little bit often you have Elbow but ok I like this chart because you name Bowie many times and the Beatles are here to i like it very much. 90 Points

Nice chart!! Lots of classics here, would love to see some more written stuff!

It's awesome when people put lots of their favorite artist. Why not? At one time I had about 10 David Bowie albums in my chart but then I made a rule: no more than three albums from one artist. Heh heh
Good chart, even if some artists are maye over representated.
Great chart. Definitely gotta check out some of the albums here, keep it up :)
Also, seeing Flight of the Conchords here really made my day :D

Good good good! Intact this is perfect!
Can we get enough from The Beatles, Green Day, Oasis and Coldplay? No!
Cheers!
