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 87.1/100, a mean average of 88.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.4.

Looks to me that we had very similar takes on the 2000s as a decade. I really appreciate your inclusion of Funeral, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Sound of Silver, and Boxer, for starters (all of which made my top 100 of all time). I also can't argue with Picaresque at #1, as it's such a beautifully crafted, easily recognizable monument to what made the decade as a whole such a great time for music. Fantastic selections overall!

Radiohead is my favorite band and probably the best band of the 2000s, but I think you get a little carried away with their greatness here. Is Amnesiac really better than all but three non-Radiohead albums released in the last decade?
Lots of great records here.
