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 80.6/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.3.

Not too shabby! I was especially pleased to see Metallica's KILL 'EM ALL in there! And, yes, Katy Perry is pop fluff...but, it's pop fluff done to perfection. Ain't nuthin' wrong with that.

Props for Kala, MBDTF, and the Boxer. Ok list. Top 2 albums being Public Enemy is a bit overkill, although they are good records.
