more like "favorite albums" than "greatest albums." If anyone is qualified to make a definitive list of the "greatest albums ever" it's certainly not me.

Four sides of the most orgasmic guitar riffing in the history of music. Add John Bonham on drums and the most electrifying vocals in the history of rock, and... well well well... I can die eeasy.

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 86.7/100, a mean average of 87.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.5.

Oh yes, that number 1. Too much Radiohead becomes irrelevant when you have so many fantastic albums
