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 86.2/100, a mean average of 84.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.2.

Awesome chart man!
According to Arctic Monkeys, the Strokes and Arcade Fire in your top 10, I would recommend Phoenix and Freelance Whales, both are awesome Indie groups imo.
And according to MCR and Green Day I would recommend Sum 41 and Simple Plan, both are very recognized though... So if you're already familiar with them try out Destine and Fit For Rivals, both are awesome unrecognized Pop Punk groups.

The chart of an uneducated, unintrested person on his 20's that failed to see beyond what lies in front of his nose. Your chart sucks. It's terrible and boring.

Incredible chart girl!
Loved seeing Summertime '06, Day & Age, Guero, Danger Days and Some Nights on here as well as so many of my favorite classic albums. Pretty bold to have Life of Pablo on here already but then again I have Yeezus as #1 haha keep on listening :)
