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 86.4/100, a mean average of 86.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.3.

Cool chart some interesting artists here.

Not so keen on the cheese of Weird Al, Oasis and Muse (and I get that you're an Aussie but does the 90s warrant quite that many Australian albums?) but the sheer variety and scope of this list means I can only bow to your better judgement. Would love to see some album notes (maybe moved from your overall chart?) for perfect score - otherwise great job!
nice chart
Unique list, I like it!

Some interesting stuff in there. Supergrass, yummy.
louisjwyatt 11/21/2016 18:32
Absolutely love this!
I only own 812 90s albums myself. A lot of interesting music in your list but I don't know most of the Australian albums (although I'm tempted to investigate a few). But Seal and Meat Loaf?
Interesting chart

Excellent and eclectic collection of nineties albums, evidently culled from a huge collection. (I'm not 100% sure I could name 1200 albums from the nineties myself!) I love OK Computer (I know everyone does, but it's for good reason), Grace, The Bends, and Dummy, among many of your other selections. I have never listened to Teenage Snuff Film, so I'm sliding that up my list of things I need to hear. Thanks for providing me with some new listening material!
Rowland S Howard at No. 1. Great choice!
