m = minimum number of ratings required for an item to appear in a 'top-rated' chart (currently 10).
AV = the site mean average rating.

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 86.0/100, a mean average of 86.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.7.

Nice to see this is still getting updated, where all are accepted and none are rejected. Thoughts and prayers.
I've got to agree with the other comments here. Love the amount of hidden gems, and like the charts of any great music connoisseur the picks I do recognise are brilliant. Would love to hear your written opinions on these records, especially the lesser-known picks so I could know what I was getting myself into.
Great choices. Really like that you didn’t go with the popular choices here. Grabbed a random album to listen to. Ended up with U.S. Girls - Half Free. Never heard them before. Interesting stuff. Thanks for the suggestion
This chart inspired me!
Interesting one! congrats
Great chart.. We have 12 albums and 17 artists in common.
Great summary of the decade so far.
Interesting chart. Thank you.
I got to listen to Oneothrix. Awesome chart.
@lisalisa, wow I'd consider Torres a much sadder album than LSS. Waterfall, that last track, is so brutal. But yeah I do have a bit of a melancholy bias.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
