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 7% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.2/100, a mean average of 86.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.1.

What I like about your chart is:
1 ~ your notes link your musical taste DNA to the albums and reveal an honesty in your choices and in you;
2 ~ we have TWO albums in common ~ and considering there are 2 generations between us and we grew up on opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean, I would have been disappointed if we had more in common;
3 ~ the 2 common albums we have are separated by 44 years of music: 1969 Abbey Road & 2013 AM. I love it that music can transcend the generations;
4 ~ I used your chart to explore music that has been unknown to me ~ I didn't find anything that excited me, but I enjoyed the deeper journey into 2000's & 2010's;
5 ~ half your chart has albums outside the BEA top 1000 ~ I respect that deeply.
What I didn't like:
1 ~ only 4 countries represented in the chart, and of that 96% is US & UK. Over time you will find that there are heaps of exceptional music out there worthy of including in a top 100 chart;
2 ~ only 1 Australian album! Nice to see one, but ..... I'd be happy to make some suggestions if you are interested.
Overall, I enjoyed spending time with your chart ~ thank you.
Love the notes. Very enjoyable read
great notes!

this chart is the most effectively descriptive one I've ever seen, very nice

Your notes are a really nice touch, with a great attention to detail!!
That said I still find the chart far too weighted to the modern era (which comes about from the rather intense focus on alternative/pop rock) alongside no picks from outside the anglophonic bubble.
Would be very interested to see where this chart goes if you pushed yourself out of your comfort zone a little ... I feel like you might be missing out!!

Album personality. LOL

I dig the Brand New and Basement picks, also the Seahaven album was a nice add. I enjoyed reading your descriptions a lot. Lot of diversity, but I respect your leaning toward demo/hardcore/alternative bands. Cool chart!

Cool to see American Prayer and Evol. Both unique albums
Love the text and enjoy scrolling through.
Fantastic descriptions and I love the inclusion of the personality indicators. Don't often see a chart so heavily weighted towards the 2010s, I personally agree that music has been amazing these last 7 years. Ignore the people calling you out in comments simply on subjective taste, great chart.

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 :(
