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 6% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.4/100, a mean average of 88.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.0.

This is an amazing repertoire of music with tons of albums I haven't heard. Also, I appreciate the range of genres displayed on the list. Congrats!
If you liked Juana Molina maybe you would like Julieta Venegas' album called Bueninvento, check it out.

Solid chart. I might have switched 1 and 100, but great chart anyways.

High high marks for putting Joanna Newsom's Ys at the top. I'd put all of her albums in my Top 10 of All Time if I weren't attempting to be a bit more eclectic. I do think Divers is her best album simply because it is not a double or triple album, but the brilliant classical/chamber-pop arrangements, and the ever-poetic lyricisim of Ys probably has no true complement in the whole world modern folk-pop albums.
Well done!

Seeing CunninLynguists, cLOUDDEAD, Alcest and Electric Wizard on this chart made my day. 24 artists and albums in common with my 00's chart. Fantastic!
