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 5% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.7/100, a mean average of 89.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.5.

Love the chart. Similar tastes. Jolly good
I thought you would've put Pleasant Dreams or Subterranean Jungle instead of It's Alive. I've got a Best of the Ramones list in my custom lists if you're down to check it out. I used to be a huge fan.
good selecitions but 5 ramones albums in top 100????
Good classical chart - mainly on the hard side.
Fine.
My man! I don't agree with the ranking but I don't care, I love the music you put here!
23 in common with my own list. 5 Ramones albums!
Lots of my favorites on this list. I grabbed a random album to listen to, Led Zeppelin’s debut. Haven’t heard it in a while!
Nice chart - certainly lots of classics here but good to see some more modern picks mixed in with the good ol' stuff. Some notes would be great!!
Cool mix of punk, classic rock, and modern alternative. I like it.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
