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 4% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.3/100, a mean average of 89.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.0.

I like your chart - lots of it unknown to me however so I can delve into the unknown. Lots of 00's which I love after initially being a child of the 70's. Big call out for Keane's Hopes and Fears - what a great album! And only recently got Enos the Here Come The Warm Jets which was so unexpected

Cool list, lots in common. I've never been big on Bright Eyes, but other than that I think everything here that I've heard, I like. Nice work, might need to take a few recs from here.

Any chart with NMH on top is a great chart! You can see that it's filled with sentiments.

Lots of overlap between our overall charts, starting with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, which made your top ten overall but just missed mine. I'm anticipating doing some shuffling in the near future, though, so it wouldn't be a shock to see Wilco joining the band that spawned them, Uncle Tupelo, in my own top ten.
