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 85.2/100, a mean average of 84.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.5.

Not bad but I think you can expand than having 10 Beatles albums which is a bit eccentric and unnecessary but, at least its your own opinion and taste

Way too much Beatles & Beatles related for my taste. I know all of the arguements why they are the greatest band ever, but I just don't get it. Rant over! Apart from that, really decent chart.
