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 is rated in the top 9% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.1/100, a mean average of 89.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.0.

Absolutely LOVE the description you've given to your no.1 pick, that feeling of stumbling across and album from your own past is a familiar one ...
Repo 12/26/2017 02:45 | #203887
Fantastic notes & charts. Love your little stories about each album sShort & sweet but gives you a great feeling about each album.

Hilarious little telling about #1 :)
I like your nr 77

I can't understand why I don't see a lot more of Nillson Schmillson. Maybe enough people just don't KNOW it anymore. If they did, well, it would be in the Top 100. Its in MY Top 10.
Very good chart! Love number 78, a real classic!
CharlieBarley 09/21/2016 18:49 | #175531
Good chart man. A good few albums in common and a few I'd like to check out. Like the fact that it's a Top 74. Good to be honest.
A Moon Shaped Pool in the top 20? Don´t make me laugh.
