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 81.1/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.5.

Good chart, but a bit centered on Pet Shop boys and Röyksopp. Some notes would be great

Good chart! Love Royksopp, you should check out their EP with Robyn and Robyns later work. I just added Portishead Third to my main chart because after multiple listens it's definitely risen in the ranks because it's wonderful. You should check out Phantogram if you haven't already. Thumbs up to Radiohead and Goldfrapp as well. Good choices, keep it up!

Pretty good chart. Glad to see someone giving Pet Shop Boys some love since they seem to be generally quite underappreciated on this site. You are the first to add Bilingual, which is not my favorite, but certainly worthy of an appearance.
