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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.7/100, a mean average of 88.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.9.

super cool! very out-there
Particular taste
Interesting concept and some interesting and underappreciated selections – ‘Distant Hills’ being a notable one, though if you like Oregon you should try Third Ear Band’s ‘Third Ear Band’ and ‘Abelard and Heloïse’. A more modern one one which I have known but never listened to is Jessamine.

Anything with lesser known Thrill Jockey releases included is a win in my book.
I had commented before but here again because I really enjoyed your bandcamp. Cool to see where the influences lie -- could definitely guess you were a Modest Mouse fan from "Wither w/o Her" for example! Wasn't surprised to see our tastes were similar. You do some really cool stuff with sound design, I like that your diversity too.
95/100 just because there are a handful of artists that dominate the chart, but I really love those acts so not much of a detriment.

I appreciate your efforts to put into words the ineffable qualities of music, even though it might feel like a futile gesture. I'm also glad to see Arcade Fire's Funeral on your overall list--just emphasizes what a truly great, genre-defying record it is.
Nice chart! Very personal and original, I like it!

An immensely lovely and grabbing list! Could use a bit more from the 70's and 60's, but that's definitely not a problem. The diversity along with the sense of personality really makes this one stand out in the best way possible. Really digging this!

One of the coolest most personal charts I've seen! Nice! Bunch I didn't know but should check out. Thanks for sharing!

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 :(
