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 72.6/100, a mean average of 67.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 29.8.

Why you rate 5/100 so many albums? Your curve of ratings isn't very objetive I suppose...

I'm giving you this rating because you're a plague of ignorance and immaturity on this website. Grow up and then you can come back. (Edited)

Nothing wrong with your chart... a little 60-70s heavy... but really, I'm more at odds with you bashing all the other genres you don't like. Why bother ripping on so many other artists? (Edited)

I could give you a very sophisticated “trashy trashy trash trash”, but I’m not a child. I had expected worse tbh: Dark Side of the Moon at #1 followed by OK Computer (the usual). But still, your taste is not very diverse and your picks are very PC.
Oh yeah, and stop hating on albums from genres that are clearly just not your thing.
