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 84.5/100, a mean average of 83.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.1.

Good chart! I like the Sublime and MGMT additions on here. J might wanna include some Sublime on my chart eventually, as I do like them.
very cool chart, loved the notes in it, had a great time eating this information mayonnaise of it.
love so many choices, especially Sublime and Streetlight Manifesto.
Also a honest chart is alwats welcome in my world
That`s a quite good contemporary alternative chart!
Not exactly my music, but respect for adding some good classics and introducing many "unknown" bands!
Nice indie collection! lots of recos
Dude A+ reconstruction, this is now one of my absolute favorite charts on the site.
john lajoie are you kidding? although animal collective does rock.
I love Sublime and I love Modest Mouse...but this is def. way too top heavy with them. Love the Shins and Blind Melon respect though.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
