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 85.0/100, a mean average of 85.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.6.

Nice to see "Foverever Changes" at the top, where it truly belongs.

I like how you included Kid A, but why does everyone love Revolver so much? I've listened to it many times and I still feel that Sgt. Pepper, White Album, Abbey Road, and even the Magical Mystery Tour compilation are stronger albums. I mean it's good but it's not like the same bar as these other albums from them.

All the classics, but if you like Five Leaves Left and Bryter Layter then you should try Pink Moon, different but better!
