Rating metrics: Help 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.

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!!

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!
