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 81.6/100, a mean average of 81.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.5.

Surprised to see Eminem and Sigur Ros or Pink Floyd on the same chart. Very interesting selection.

Great Chart, nice variety but try to explore a little bit more the 80s (Even i don't like too much either) you can find great albums there.
Anyway i love the inclusion of: Revolver and The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

I enjoy this chart, and it definitely gets more interesting as it goes on. I'm not a huge hip-hop/rap fan, but I haven't heard a lot of the albums you put down, so I might check those out. Very nice.

The further you get into your chart, the more interesting it becomes. Love the hip-hop inclusions... Your top 10 goes for the broad sounds.
