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 85.7/100, a mean average of 85.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.8.

Excellent, I often feel that every chart should really have The Velvet Underground & Nico in the top ten!

Not a bad chart... but how does Limp Bizkit make it on here? There's so much more quality hard rock out there.

I love your top 10. Some excellent often-overlooked albums mixed in here, although My Chemical Romance shouldn't be anywhere near a "best ever" chart, good work overall.
