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 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.4/100, a mean average of 90.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.2.

flyingcitrus 04/09/2019 14:43 | #234665
Love seeing Television so high and MPB always gets a like from me. I'll be checking out some of the reggae on this chart!
Awesome chart. Well done!
Julelios 12/05/2018 14:38 | #226240
Excellent choices !
Really nice chart! 40 artist in common. I also like P.J. Harvey, but "Stories..." is better
LedZep 05/29/2017 13:53 | #191639
Like this very much. PJ Harvey rules
Like it a hell of a lot.
Interesting and diverse chart full of both old and new albums plus a nice sprinkling of records outside of the U.K. and U.S. Good stuff.
CharlieBarley 11/11/2016 00:12 | #178268
Really enjoyed viewing this chart. 26 albums in common. Not bad!
