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 14% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.6/100, a mean average of 86.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.8.

Good chart man. A lot of nice selections. I am just getting into the Decemberists so good to see them. Good work.
haven't seen Harvest on anyone's list in a while..
Very nice chart!
Very nice chart. Good selections from the 2000s. And a nice spattering of "classics". We had 18 albums in common.
I love your chart. I wish my friends, if I can say I have, had tastes so similar to mine.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
