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 82.4/100, a mean average of 80.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.2.

While the 80's metal is mostly not my thing, it is nice to see bands like Junkyard on your list.

I certainly wouldn't call hair/glam metal crappy. A lot of people enjoyed it when it was around and a lot of people still enjoy it. But this is definitely one of the better lists I've seen on here. There's a ton of albums I like, and a bunch I really want to check out. It's nice to see another Triumph fan too, vastly underrated band!

There's a good bit of crappy hair on this list, but the underrated gems (JLP, Blizzard of Ozz, Piece of Mind, Styx, etc.) more than make up for it.
