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 86.3/100, a mean average of 87.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.3.

Unknown Pleasures est pour moi un album parfait : sa couverture, la production, les textes, les musiciens... Et ouais, j'avais bien repéré les albums french de ta liste ;) Cellar Door est effectivement la plus belle association de mots de la langue anglaise.
