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 88.0/100, a mean average of 86.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.1.

Really nice chart! I share your love for the vast majority of your picks here! Vapour Trail is fantastic (One of my favourites as well!). Feel the 60's and 70's are a tad neglected but it is a fantastic collection of albums nonetheless.
Great chart. ‘90’s heavy which is fine with me. Many of my favourite albums are from that decade
Very good chart !!!! A lot of 90s 😂
Excellent. There are a few albums I don't know so you've given me some listening to do.
phenomenal
If basic means not full of pretentious cooler than thou/I only listen to this to impress pitchfork/RYM type music, then yeah, this chart is lacking. Thank you for not being pretentious.
Now 13 artists in common!!
My first chart was dominated by R.E.M. too! https://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?c=31041
Fellow R.E.M fan also, nice to see 7 of their albums on your list. I note there’s no “Fables” within your 7 , of course it’s a matter of opinion but personally I adore this album and have as my number 2 R.E.M album just behind “Life’s Rich Pageant “
Overall I think it’s an excellent list
What's not to like? Very good chart, many of my favourites you have put your honest favourite s you're not out to impress anyone. That is commendable. There are quite a few I used to have on my chart like Achtung Baby, Mellon Collie & By The Way. They may edge back in one day. I like the fact that it's not a top 100. You have simply made a list of your favourite albums. And I enjoyed the notes. Regarding the number 1 album Let Down is my favourite Radiohead song. Glad to see it's also one of yours.
