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 11.8.

Word...Life, Beaster and I Could Live in Hope are three of my favorites. Glad to see them represented here.

7 albums in common. Lots to learn from. Thanks!

Great chart!
I like the Mazzy Star/Cave/Oldham focus.
A lot to discover anyway!
pa 04/14/2014 08:16
really nice !!
Good and again a very characterful chart - for me too melancholic!
Captain Spacker 08/12/2013 18:18
Any list with Slanted and Enchanted in the top 10 instantly gets a 90+ but damn this is a great list
Oselju 03/23/2013 20:42
Odelay à la 96ème place ?
Seule fausse note à ce top intelligent.
junodog4 02/25/2012 03:22
A very diverse and eclectic chart. Good stuff. Bonus points for a Jon Spencer album!
Very good chart...Some pleasant surprises. Congratulations for being able to select 100 in the 90s - for me not a particularly inspirational decade.
