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 81.5/100, a mean average of 78.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 17.2.

Good, solid rock choices on here. You may want to listen to something besides classic rock, though.

I'm guessing you like Pink Floyd?
Well done! This is the way a chart should look.
Excellent chart! It's a nice change to see True Blue in the list- it's an underrated album..
