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 9% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.1/100, a mean average of 90.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.4.

I personally don't think Fitter Happier is the best on OK Computer, but it definitely sums up the album perfectly! Overall, great list!

Wow!! I love this chart. Bjork is one of the few artists you. Hold justify having so many albums of on one chart. Love seeing lorde so high too! Also arca, Lana, Sophie... love it. Basically a great blend of pop and the type of music everyone else puts on their charts!

Bjork is under-appreciated here, which I am also guilty of. We agree on the best album of all time, too, which never hurts. I also appreciate the Mercury Rev, kinda weird seeing Lorde in a top 10 though.
