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 9% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.0/100, a mean average of 89.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.3.

Really great chart.
Sin contar un par de discos este chart me recordó a la colección de discos que juntamos entre mis hermanos y yo mientras vivíamos en la misma casa. Está muy chida tu lista. Muchas coincidencias.

Muy bueno, senor. Awesome classic rock selections. I have a Mexican band and album too in my Top 100. Los Esquizitos Escuchese Bien Fuerte by Los Esquizitos. It's been one of my favorite albums for years. I still listen to it all the time. It is so much fun. But I wish they had another good album. They only have one other album but it's not good like this one.

This is not a bad chart at all, 24 in common with my chart, a few albums I have not heard....
Buena chart. Quizá algo predecible al principio pero con buenos clásicos y algunos grandes discos contemporáneos como AM o Hellville Deluxe.
