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.

nearly my taste!

Very good choices.
A bit too classic and too old-fashioned.
This is a great chart!
Really solid chart. Good stuff.
Only great albums on this list! And a nice variation... Congrats! Really liked it.

Really liked your chart. And a good mix
Love the albums, nice seeing Tracy Chapman I forgot how good that album was
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.
Great chart. Plenty of classics and a few wild cards mixed in.
