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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.6/100, a mean average of 91.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.7.

What a great chart. Spanning the decades & crossing the globe and showing your love for home grown (Brazilian) artists. So much for me to explore. Thank you!
Really great chart.
finally some1 with his own taste on this site
wonderful, new favorite of mine
Really brilliant chart! I can tell you like a bit of everything in terms of style. So many nice choices.
surprising und unique chart.
like it.
Really appreciate this chart! Definitely had to check it out since you had Saucerful as your number one! Top 5 Pink Floyd album IMO. Love that you have Renaissance "Turn Of The Cards" too. Also 18 artists in common!
lovely mix.... great chart.... bravo !!
Some great choices and Saucerful at No. 1 is a great placing. You obviously have a great knowledge of a wide variety of musical styles. Don't worry about George Harrison he had a great sense of humour, and don't forget he funded the film "The Life Of Brian".
Very nice chart and good with the love for saucerful
