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 17% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.2/100, a mean average of 88.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.2.

Close to 100%. Can not argue with any of your choices, but for the last one - the lame "Everything must go". Change that one to any of Dan's 70s album instead and you will get 100 from me :-)

This is a great list, some of my favorites, some great ones I had forgotten about, and some I have never heard and plan to check out.

Very good chart although I think that the 2000’s deserve a bit more love but can’t delight the quality of albums on your chart (Edited)

Very 70s. Exactly what I like to see. I didn't think anybody remembered Tower of Power except me.
