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 7% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.3/100, a mean average of 87.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.2.

Nice chart.

I recognize your taste, hope to get some descriptions ;)
Love your love of the Canadian music and the Kinks. A little greater variety of artists and it would be hard to knock at all.

Very good. I like your older choices here better than the newer ones, but still pretty good. Especially Joni Mitchell. I got Summer Lawns and Court and Spark in my top 100 too.
