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 10% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.9/100, a mean average of 86.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.6.

easily one of the most interesting charts i've come across on this site. it's nice to see so many classical albums.
A very interesting chart with a lot of unexpected turns. Ever since I read Joe S. Harrington in 2001 and David Keenan in 2003 I have always appreciated a chart that is unexpected, and this one, as other writers have noted, delivers on that count.
Interesting chart - excellent coverage of the decades and across nationalities.
The emphasis on orchestral & jazz music is unusual for this site but a nice change.
Really nice blend of classical and modern albums. Great list!
Fascinating and very interesting chart. Just bought your #1 pick the other day but haven't listened to it yet. Looking forward to it even more than I was after seeing this chart

great

That Mingus record is legendary, not my personal favorite in Jazz but it's so epic. I love that you have In A Silent Way up there. A lot of artists I don't recognize as well, goof stuff!
Interesting your classic and jazz picks
i will be checking some jazz albums you have here and i haven heard

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 :(
