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 85.2/100, a mean average of 85.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.2.

886 albums.....Holy sheet! Id love to see how many you have by the end of the decade.
I really like the inclusions of The Drones (my fave so far this year/decade), Mutemath and Snowman in your top 10. I have Snowmans first album which is really good and I always thought it was a one album wonder. But apparently they have others ill have to check out :)

Your chart is exhaustive (and left me exhausted). Difficult to rate when there's so much I don't know but I trust your judgement from your other charts and appreciate the man hours you put in. Spotify is going to take a hammering over the next couple of weeks.

Wow! I would rate had I heard of more than 9 of these bands, kudos to you for being well traveled in the music listening department. 568 albums of the last 26 months? I didn't even think that many were recorded in the entire industry.

To condense 1277 albums into 100 from just 4 years of the decade is a mighty achievement. Some good stuff, some ok stuff and some I have not yet heard.

Australia. Great chart, man. However, as much as I love Peter Gabriel, I can't dig Scratch My Back.
