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 18% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.2/100, a mean average of 86.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.6.

Not sure how much this is the finished articled (since you've put this as under construction) but a great mix of albums nonetheless. Some notes to your favourites would be really interesting to see!

Working on the notes. It's one of those things that I really struggle to put into words for some reason.

Great list. We have pretty similar taste. Love the variety of albums here. The only thing I don't love is the somewhat lack of '80s albums.

I expected more Canadian albums tbh. A really cool list tho, and the descriptions are so kick ass! Shame there isn't more of them, but a nice list dude. Galapagos-Porcelina and Zero-To Forgive are some of the best track groups that I've ever listened to. Also nice to see Dream Theater, and the Rush choice is very cool, maybe my fav by them right now. Solid jazz choices too!
