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 83.6/100, a mean average of 81.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.3.

Since the 2000's, dead on. Glad to see M.I.A in the top 10. Wolfgang Amedeus Phoenix, also a good choice. Maybe listen to Fantasies by Metric? Put that on here and I'd give it 100

Rolling Stone magazine much? I mean, RS picked them for a reason, they're great albums, but have some individuality. Nothing new for me to discover here.
