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 81.6/100, a mean average of 78.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.2.

Hm, interesting chart, I dig it.
Bravo, I wish my music tastes were that sound when I was your age. I JUST added Are You Experience? to my chart. Wonderful Album.
Classic with some Mars Volta..
not bad
Nice list!
Better than my list at 17, but your list seems a little straightforward. Shows potential...
...and too much Tool.
Much more impressive than my list would have been at 17.
30 more!
Nice going, only "the mars volta" ... already gave them a try or two, but i still have to grow into them.
Very Beatles oriented. Otherwise really strong list
An excellent list! Wish I'd found some of these at the age of 17, I'm envious!
