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 90.3/100, a mean average of 90.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.4.

Jeez, almost too good. Dump Arcade Fire and Radiohead, though. The Fall and Big Black have to be here, hehe.

Morphine, On the Beach, Daydream Nation and your jazz picks... fantastic
A very diverse and eclectic chart. Some nice picks and some I now want to check out

Highway 61 and Black Saint in the top 10? I can definitely get behind this!
What a beautiful chart. Also, a lot in common with mine
Muy a la Scaruffi, pero no está mal.
One of the illest charts I've ever seen

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
We work very hard to ensure our site is as fast (and FREE!) as possible, and we respect your privacy.
