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 86.3/100, a mean average of 85.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.9.

Perfume Genius at number 1?! Amazing. I almost don't even need to look at the rest of your chart but I will.
EyeKanFly 09/03/2021 13:20
Solid chart, great variety of eras and genres. Appreciate the comments on genre and favorite track for those albums I haven't heard of. It seems like this is mostly the "classics", but with a good portion of surprises in here too, including that #1! I'd be interested to hear your take on some other Perfume Genius albums, since that one might be my least favorite of all his albums I've heard (which I think is all except the debut). All still great albums though.
Particularly fond of the 2010s entries in the chart

Nice! I don't agree with most of the picks but it's good anyways
good selections
really love your picks with variety
Good chart....only 9 albums that are not in my collection...sorry Dire Straits and Meat Loaf.

I like this chart! It's good to see Bob Dylan and Stevie Wonder get the high ratings they deserve. I think you've done a good job incorporating pop music here too, which is something a lot of charts miss out on.

Great chart!
mdbaxter 06/26/2018 17:02
Nice chart!
Great list! Love seeing Dark Side at number 1. It's nice to see such a variety of artists and genres represented here, definitely more varied than my own list.
