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 84.7/100, a mean average of 84.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.1.

A VERY varied chart for only 50 albums. #1 gives you automatic credibility. Nice Sinatra pick. Love the Heads choice. Looking forward to the expanded list.

From Mr November 01/26/2012 07:06

A refreshing perspective not full of the usual classic albums. Good to be reminded of the Silver Jews, been meaning to check them out for the best part of 20 years. I like Liquid Swords but Ghostface Killah's Fishscale is my favourite Wu-Tang solo, you should check it out if you haven't already.

Plenty of Radiohead, Liquid Swords, and J Dilla. A good "just missed list" as well. Plus the Earl Sweatshirt. Pretty solid.

Very broad range of music, indeed. Like it, especially that you chose Aquemini and Endtroducing.

Thanks for the comment, I thought I sorted my chart out, but I guess I didn't. This is the first recommendation so far I haven't heard before, I'll definitely check them out! Just noticed The Good, The Bad & The Queen, DFA1979, great inclusions.
