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 78.6/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 24.2.

I love your passion to the music that moves you in ways that only you can understand ~ even though we travel very different roads. I was happy to see we have 4 albums in common - especially Tapestry!

Clearly a chart that divides opinion. I like it. Devised by someone with a defined taste in music and you have to admire that.

Far too much 2010's. Far too much Swift. Very few classic albums. Sorry not much to like here other than originality.

Many people have their noses too far up their own you-know-where to enjoy pop like you do. That includes me, though I can hopefully say I'm trying. And you're probably a lot happier than the rest of us nerds. I don't think I've ever been happier than listening and dancing to Swift's "Shake It Off" with someone else that enjoys it. You're doing it right my friend.
