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 84.0/100, a mean average of 81.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.8.

Unique choice too add that Led Zeppelin album over so many others of them.

Really good chart. Can't argue with any of the choices. Afraid that I can't be as diciplined as you are with 1 album per band which obviously does make charts more varied. I need to try it one day.
