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 83.0/100, a mean average of 81.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.1.

Really great chart and I love your username! Only thing I have to ask... is Cured really your favorite Steve Hackett album??? No offense but that's just odd. Certainly original, though.

Nice chart - very eclectic! I'm not so keen on some of the pop acts, but you've included some very interesting Croatian music I wasn't familiar with (Arsen Dedic, Stijene). Also Jalta Jalta sounds like a great musical.
