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 88.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.0.

Zappa!
Very original and a lot of surprises!

Nice list
When I look for favorites I look for two things. Common ground and albums I simply don't know. Knowing that you have Songs for Swinging Lovers, Kind Of Blue, Pink Flag, Stories from the City in a nice neat row requires my inquiries into the less obvious albums. An undeniably great chart.
