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 90.1/100, a mean average of 92.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.2.

love to see so many albums of my favourite artists: Tom Waits, King Crimson, Can

Not much on here too not like, and loads of Radiohead. Spot-on
A whole lot of artists dominating the list, but they are all good artists and I definitely can't argue with Kid A/Tago Mago being top two.
nice eclectic mix.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
