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 13% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.4/100, a mean average of 89.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 3.7.

Great chart! Only four in common but we have a bunch of bands in common. I've listened to the majority of these.
Why you hate MCR bro
This is fantastic. Love to see Raw Power in top 10, also Transformer, Meat Is Murder as the best Smiths album, and a lot of variety. It seems like it's sorted by genre though, not sure I like that but they're all amazing albums.
very nice chart
