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 79.6/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.8.

Love your Progressive-Rock best.
Nice collection!

Would be interesting to see some albums from your country...
A very british selection of records. Obviously all classics though, particularly since most of them are from the 60's/70's era of music when British rock bands were arguably miles and miles ahead of their american counterparts in terms of both quality and creativity. Nice to see you put OK Computer up there as well, my all time fav!
Lots of really good albums here. And it flows really well. Also, I heartily approve of the number one ;)

A chart full of classic albums.
Love how you describe all these great albums, especially the top 10! Can't wait to see your other 50 choices!

It's a little too metal heavy for my tastes, but most everything else is stuff I love.
Good chart, nothing I don't like but your comments are a bit confusing. Why would you rank your favourite Beatles album behind 2 other Beatles albums?
