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 80.2/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.5.

It's good. Maybe needs more decade diversity, but that's ok. And Black Album is nowhere near Metallica's best album IMO, but given that you like 90s hard rock I understand and approve!

2 albums that I fail to appreciate that are almost always on these lists- Dark Side of the Moon and Pet Sounds. Please help me understand!
