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 84.9/100, a mean average of 83.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.7.

Not thaaaat predictable. I'd say slightly pop-oriented maybe? But predictable, no. Not alot in common with mine but I respect all your choices. Good stuff.

Likeable. I could spend a weekend listening to your chart.
Good chart :)
yeah, cool chart :D
there's no problem in a chart being predictable if it is good. And you're isn't... it is great. Congratulations for your great taste.
Similar tastes.
Totally unoriginal, but these certainly are great albums, and it that respect I give this 100%.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
