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 79.1/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 24.8.

one of the best and most important charts on this site tbh
seb7 06/29/2022 06:58
Its truly an interesting chart. do I consider some of your picks straight-up not that good? i guess so. In any case, keep on listening and loving music and being you!

I have mixed feelings about charts like this. Yes they are very useful for flagging up overlooked albums that may be worth looking at, albums that are not widely known. These charts usually get a high score from other users for being different and interesting. But should they appear on a Greatest Albums list and count towards the greatest overall chart? The prime (but obviously not only) objective of this site is to identify the greatest albums ever recorded (I believe) and boring as it may seem 'Greatest Charts' without any conventional choices should be regarded with caution. I love charts such as this, but they should be titled something like 'Greatest albums you should listen to because I think they're great'. But I'm very aware that many users only look at the Top 100 Greatest charts, so the only way to get noticed is to create them as 'Top 100 Greatest' charts. A quandary.

What a weird and eccentric chart. I mean that as the highest compliment, I think more charts should strive for this rather than regurgitating canon picks. I like that you've got some really corny pop in there right up alongside artsy stuff - you're right, life should have both! Great work, I'll be checking some of these albums out!
DommeDamian 11/08/2021 20:07
goddamn the effort.
Morton Feldman just barely edging out Avril Lavigne in the top 10 is the best postmodern provocation I've ever seen around here.

loads of great music (and some uh less great music imho) but more than that just consistently the most perplexing chat on BEA. at a certain point I just have to respect the audacity of it all. 2 hours of fart sounds? punk af
RoundTheBend 12/23/2020 06:11
Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others is also probs my favorite Smiths track.
DommeDamian 09/05/2020 21:17
I'd love to read your words and thoughts of these albums. But man, I hope you know how inspirational it is for you to dare showing off your controversial picks (like Soulja Boy being the highest ranked rapper) - big respect your way!
