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!

Wow! What a great introduction to your chart! I completely agree. Fantastic, highly original chart. Will check out a few of the album I've never heard before too. Love seeing Spiritualized's debut ranked so highly. I love that album. Peace, brother! Rec me some mellow albums in my diary The Mellow Zone any time. Would love to hear what u contribute. Peace!

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".

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!
