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 84.0/100, a mean average of 82.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.5.

You've got a great combination of genres, but you should continue to expand what you listen to.

Very cool. I'm not a big Albarn and Kendrick fan myself, but I must admit that a combination of classic prog and modern rap makes this a very cool chart

This was a cool list. Still need to give Blur and Gorillaz albums the necessary listens those record deserve.
