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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.1/100, a mean average of 91.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.8.

Im always sad to see Kendrick on a list. His story/concept albums are interesting reads but I cant stand the production of most popular rap, there's so much better independent and alternative hip hop out there. That being said though your list is straight fire.

Interesting list, you have most of the artists i like to and they are on my favorites. One or two outliners but you like Turkish music and that is very interesting. So i give you 90 Points for a good chart.

Thanks for the comment on my chart, as well. Your number one choice might find its way back. My opinion changes occasionally and there are so many great albums that it's hard to limit a list to 100. Since you are a fan of Antony and the Johnsons, I would highly recommend the Unthanks live album "The Songs Of Robert Wyatt And Antony & The Johnsons" if you have not already heard it. They do an amazing cover of "Spiraling" as well as "You Are My Sister".
