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 86.7/100, a mean average of 87.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.7.

I'm not a big Beach Boys fan, but the rest is one of the best charts I've seen. From heavier grunge 90s things to 60s pop to 70s prog to modern music of all kinds.

They are right when they say this chart is a little predictable and too mainstream. Anyway, it is full of classics, and if you really like them, there is no problem. Excellent top five, with a great position for "Meddle". Overall, nice, very nice.
