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 82.2/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 22.7.

Funky list... All this great indie stuff... and then Badfinger and Dio. Your tastes are varied. Push Teagan and Sara to the top of your chart! (They are your name afterall)
Great list!
Great chart! I love Tegan and Sara as well, The Con being my favourite album from them :)
