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 74.6/100, a mean average of 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 25.3.

Cool chart. I don't respect anyone who fakes reviews on thousands of records and hands out 15s without reservation on obscure albums where you think nobody will notice.

Have an honest presence on bea and maybe your chart's rating won't be in the toilet.

I feel dumb for making such a petty comment about 80's and 90's rock two months ago, especially considering I hadn't even heard a lot of the albums that were the ire of my comment. Some of them are really good.

But, I stand by the rest of my comment...your chart needs updating.

I’m a little baffled. You made a top 50 chart eight years ago that’s pretty one note 80s and 90s bore rock, but have created a top 100 for the 1950s just last year?? Are you having a longwinded laugh at us?

good stuff, but very 80's and early 90's centric. I'd recommend you "Loveless," but I'm sure you've already heard it.
