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 is rated in the top 13% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.5/100, a mean average of 87.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.5.

I like the varied taste. Good picks for the most part but a few odd ones.

A very interesting and almost bizarre list I would say. You definitely have an expansive taste!

Yoko Ono? Wow I would love to hear your opinions on her music. Also Khalid seems odd for this chart, I always thought of that album as high schooler music. Especially tracks like "young,dumb,and broke".
