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 66.4/100, a mean average of 58.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 58.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 22.4.

Wow... for someone who's called Damon Albarn, you'd think there'd be at least ONE Gorillaz album on there... But no. I'm one of many who thinks Parklife is Blur's best, and you have it high here, which is great, but I'm rating the chart this high because of the inclusion of Porcupine. I LOVE that album. The most underrated of Echo's catalogue, for sure. Also, A Night At The Opera is great.

MLIR, Parklife, and The Great Escape in the Top3, GREAT!! I just think that 13 should be in the Top10 too, but generally a very good list.

Well at least you got the order of Blur Albums right. (Modern Life.. above Parklife)

Noel Gallagher did a better Paul McCartney impression than Albarn's one of Ray Davies..

As with others, too much Blur. I'll give plenty of room for personal tastes to include Modern Life..., Park Life, and The Great Escape to be in a top 40 (Great Escape's in mine), but Leisure's too generic, and Blur and 13 were fairly weak overall. However, some of the ratings of your chart are too harsh - you've got several decent picks in there and - people should remember - to each his own.
