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 87.9/100, a mean average of 88.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.2.

It's not my favourite decade but what a perfect list.. I should gonna check those albums. The fact that you put The Colour of Spring by Talk Talk on the number one it says everything.

Magnificent.

An interesting mix of stuff from a decade I find hard to love. Would be nice to see some albums outside of the anglophone bubble (+ some notes would be great!), here's a few you might enjoy:

Hiroshi Yoshimura - Wave Notation 1: Music For Nine Postcards
Klaus Mitffoch - Klaus Mitffoch
CCCP Fedeli alla Linea - 1964-1985 ...
