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 82.3/100, a mean average of 81.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.8.

Great mix. For sure, I'll have to check out some unfamiliar albums on your list. Well done!

Some good choices in your chart.
Thanks
ForegroundNoise 11/26/2018 09:27
Some really nice notes!!
DommeDamian 08/05/2017 17:11
Superb!!!!!
Pretty rock heavy
It's pretty cool to see Tell me I'm pretty though, underrated album
TheHolyKiwi 08/05/2017 09:24
Now I don't dislike the chart or your taste. Just giving a recommendation here, I think it'd be good to spice the chart up a bit more with more variety. Do you think 6 Beatles albums is a necessity?
patriciatoledo 07/16/2017 06:28
Very nice chart. I'm curious to know how it would be with only one album per artist though... Also I'm happy to see Pink Floyd, Led and Beatles on top 10 because that's for sure where they deserve to be but I think a little more personal touch would be interesting too.
LedZep 06/17/2017 15:22
Tool and Goo, nice
ShadowColossi 02/19/2016 10:02

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 :(
