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 88.3/100, a mean average of 88.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.4.

Cool chart, like around 75% so will have a listen to the few I'm not familiar with. Quite a dark chart, just looking at the top 10 I predicted Disintegration and The Holy Bible would be in there. Got to say I don't get the obsession with In the Aeroplane on this site, never met anyone in person who has recommended it but it seems to be the holy grail on here. Have heard it and thought it was alright but don't get why an album that clearly isn't populist is so universally popular.

A lot of obvious picks. Then again, they're obvious for a reason. Great chart!

Love this chart. Big positives are Mazzy Star,Husker Du and Frightened Rabbit.
Not sure that Gomez should be in this chart, The Wall is not top 5 for me and Hail to the Thief is a poor album.
Xtrmntr is very underrated on this site and could easily be in my top 10 one day.

Not really what I expected from someone with this user name. A disappointing, really. Not at all bad, but I expected to find something a bit more "out there".
