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 83.6/100, a mean average of 82.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.6.

Nada de Argentina pibe? Me decepcionas, con todo lo hermoso que tenemos podrías poner algo che. Igual, buen chart, aunque diferimos en calidad de música que hace Kiss.

Love the hard-rock vibe to your chart. More Aerosmith and less Kiss will improve it...

A truly cool collection of music. Number one IS the greatest album ever, Kiss Alive is a GREAT record and for every album I question (Raising Sand) you throw in an awesome omission on my part (Weight). Instant favorite. Bravo!
