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 13% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.5/100, a mean average of 89.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.8.

Having seen your overall chart I thought that this chart might be worth a visit. I wasn’t disappointed. Great chart

Excellent seventies chart! You've got quite a bit more metal and prog than I do, but there's lots of common ground between our charts too. Glad to see we have a shared love of Sticky Fingers. Such a great example of both the excesses of the Stones and their attention to lyrics and melody.

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 :(
