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.

Who are Tool? Judging from the rest of your chart, they're probably very noisy!

I'm on a "1 per artist" chart right now. But my charts come and go, as do my favorite Sonic Youth albums. I've ranked highly in the past : Sister, Daydream Nation and EVOL. But I could fill a whole page of SY :) (though I prefer a little diversity).

I like to see post-rock well represented. The Velvet Underground and Pixies, especially Doolittle, are personal favorites. I also appreciated the inclusion of Joni Mitchell among so many louder choices.
