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.

Decent list, but I just can't figure out how Katy Perry made it on here.

Some very good albums (Kid A) and some very bad albums (Teenage Dream).

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.
