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 86.0/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.6.

Very cool mix of emo stuff and legendary stuff on this chart. Reminds me of my own taste in tunes.
Highly suggest:
Touche Amore - Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me
La Dispute - Rooms of the House
Tacoma Washington Weekday Club - All I Loved, I Loved Alone

Great chart. 27 albums in common. I like a lot of these artists, the vast majority of them. I checked out Noir Desirs on YouTube. They are good.

Guess I'll have to check out Noir Desir. Really good chart. Awesome seeing Aphex Twin Ambient Works 2 on a top 100.
