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 85.1/100, a mean average of 82.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.5.

A "one per artist" basis would do great justice to your chart. You seem to have great taste. I really like the inclusions of "Hex", "The Glow Pt 2" and "Isn't Anything".

Great chart, just when I thought it couldn't get any better you throw a couple of Dulli albums in. Nice to see Source, Tags & Codes so high in a chart. I work with a few Poles and they all seem to like really heavy techno, nice to see good taste is universal.

Huh, I'd never heard of the Beatles "Let It Be, Naked" album. I'll have to check it out
