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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.6/100, a mean average of 92.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.6.

There are some great selections here!! I rate 95, due to the inclusion of two Kamashi Washington albums, which I judge as a bit exaggerate, but this is just my personal opinion.

I might have looked at this chart many years ago, but on second look I really like it, even with very little in common with my own chart, a number of artists I have no taste for whatsoever, and an absence of notes.
The grouping of artists is quite unlike anything I have seen, and as others have noted there are some artists whose cultural influence is undeniable but who seldom receive recognition.
