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 62.8/100, a mean average of 50.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 50.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 28.0.

Why don't you add some more Dylan?
And make a custom chart?
And do a "real" besteveralbum chart with different artists?

You should check out Bob Dylan sometime. He's pretty good.
We have three albums and one artist in common.

While Love and Theft is definitely not my favorite Dylan album, if it was moved down 6 or 7 places I think this would be a chart I could agree with for the most part (as far as best Dylan albums go)
