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 13% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.6/100, a mean average of 85.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.5.

It's not often I see such a 90s-centric chart that I really like. I tend to skew a little more recent or towards the 60s/70s, but the 80s-90s selections here are top notch while still having many 00s-10s and 60s-70s stuff I like.
Godbless You! henriknaess ~ 4 Australian albums in your top 100 ~ definitely a man of taste. I also liked the inclusion of The The, Cowboy Junkies & Susanne Sundfor. We only have 6 albums in common, as far as the top 100 is concerned ~ I enjoyed traveling your best albums journey.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
