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 81.1/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.5.

Realistically there's too much that I don't know here for me to give an honest rating but as the only person on this whole site to have a Willard Grant Conspiracy slbum I have to pay my respects. Nice to see Neil Casal making a few ripples in the BEA pond too.

I like this chart because you can tell the poster didn't give a fuck about other people's opinions.

Very different from the usual on this site. Completely different from mine (0 in common!). No matter - you have eclectic tastes, and don't follow the hipster crowd. Bravo!

Thanks for the kind comments so far. Re: the Isley Bros. love the 3 + 3 period. Could have gone for Harvest for the World but went with THIO.

A great idea for a chart, but I feel decade and year charts would normally cover the concept. I'd love to see your take on the albums you've listed.
