"The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to..." [First added to this chart: 01/31/2011]

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.

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

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".

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.
