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 81.6/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 18.6.

Great chart. Took some points off for albums I didn't know or that I don't think they're that great. But other than that, good job!

With your chart dominated by the 60's and 70's it's the albums from the 90's and 00's that fascinate me most. Great pick for number 1, right up there with the best of the 60's for me.
