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.

18 albums in common is pretty dang high considering mine is only 50 long, and you have several more I would add if I could do 100. Really nice chart. You have a lot of Nine Inch Nails which I don't care for, but I won't mark you down, everyone has some differences in opinion from me.

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.

Love it. This is the first chart I've seen, other than mine, to have KOL and Radiohead in the top 5. I love the love for KOL on this chart. Never gave NIN a thorough listen before, but I'll take a look at their albums.
