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 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.5/100, a mean average of 92.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 4.3.

I absolutely love the 90s so most charts with good 90s gets my attention. Now... i can tell its not your pallet but I saw P.E. on there so I'm just wondering if you ever actually tried to explore 90s hip hop? And I don't mean the gangster stuff, more the jazz or funk influenced alternative stuff like The Roots, A Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, Common, Mos Def, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, etc... etc... Not expecting you to fall in love with it but thought Id throw some names at you anyway.
Good chart.
