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 80.3/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.6.

Solid list if a bit lacking in new music

Cool chart. It's a nice mix of classic albums and albums you're fond of that might not be critically acclaimed.
good chart
good, good picks!

Good music, but the Chart is a bit too "classic"
tgarritsen 11/24/2013 01:01 | #94247
Like most of it
You sir, have a very wide array of tastes. Green Day, along with Radiohead, along with the oldies all great, but all very different.
If you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Excellent! Not a single album on here I don't like and the majority of them I love.
nice albums but still needs to be enhanced.
