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 81.8/100, a mean average of 79.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.9.

I respect the personal musical journey you have taken and how certain artists have impacted so deeply upon you.

21 in common, well done for putting your favourites in and not going for 'clever' picks! It's uneven and contains too many Muse albums for me, but this is what a chart should be, (not crassly manipulated like that recent Rolling Stone top 500).

Wow, our 2000s/2010s favorites are very closely aligned. I love seeing a chart with Muse on top! Gonna have to check out all of your Danish album picks. Gonna have to check out Avenged Sevenfold again, haven't listened to them in years.

Love this chart! This is what my top 100 would've looked like around five years ago. Appreciate the A7x being so highly ranked & I totally agree that Drones isn't anywhere near as bad as people say it is :)

It’s clear where your interest lies, but at least you’re honest about what you like.

Doesn't help that I'm not really into Muse's heavy-handed musicianship (which I can appreciate at times, but I do get overwhelmed by the EPICNESS pretty quickly). Some picks in here, to be sure, but nothing terribly original, I guess.

Very cool list. I love a lot of these records myself. Given your tatse, I'm shocked by how low Turn on the Bright Lights is. I thought I was going to get through the whole list without seeing Interpol. I would think that record would be a top 10 for you, and no Antics? Give it a try. Fantastic record. Fav song: Not Even Jail
