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 90.5/100, a mean average of 92.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.3.

pretty good stuff! It'd be cool for us to know what these albums mean to you / why you ranked them as such too!

Great chart! I like to love nearly all of these albums. A handful still to hear, and only a couple that aren't my thing.
