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 82.3/100, a mean average of 81.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.0.

I like the albums and artists you've picked, but almost half of your chart consists of only three artists. Don't make it a NIN-overkill, get some variety in it.

We have a lot of stuff in common, but I can't stand Kings of Leon and I'm not big on Nine Inch Nails/Trent Reznor either. And like others have said, there's not a ton of diversity. However, for the most part I like this chart, so good job.

Still really like this.
I recommend checking out Dave Van Ronk if you haven't. He's old school. But his earthy and passionate delivery and folk style seems like an earlier form of what The Tallest Man In Earth brings to the table.

Love that The Wild Hunt is top ten! All in all I like this chart. My first musical idol was Trent Reznor.... Ill have to revisit soon. I think it's funny that the one Kanye album on here is 808s.
