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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 95.6/100, a mean average of 98.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 98.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 3.7.

Hey man,
I like it. Cool idea, although I have to say that some of the entries are not that obscure. You may want to dig some lesser known entries from the BEA member's chart.
Thanks for including my obscure "Baby Lemonade" album. Do you know they were Arthur Lee's "backing band prior to his incarceration in 1996, and after his release from prison in 2001 until his death in 2006"?
Check-out this rendition of Love's "Signed DC" on YouTube - don't miss the kids at the end :)
