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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.2/100, a mean average of 92.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.9.

Nice picks. Great notes. Entertaining
Love this chart and the comments.
Loved the commentary - so much truth from so few lines. As for the chart - yeah, it's alright. Major reservation is no Aussie albums ~ folks may think we are the lucky country, but we got the same issues (childhood innocence, the solar system, ADHD, an ex-Aussie named Rolf) as anywhere else in the world ~ and some decent singers & bands to expose the truth about these life-altering subjects.
Didn't mean to piss you off, dude. You've got a good chart and the funniest commentary I've seen around here.
Nice chart, the comments I enjoyed the most were the ones I didn't understand.

Great comments that made me laugh quite a few times. Some great selections too!!

Lol gotta love these top 5s. Haven't watched the Classic Who, but absolutely love the 10 series. Smith - Tennant - Capaldi - Ecclestone (only 1 season that's why last, Hurt is great but only 1 episode, and the rest are brilliant and tend to change places). Also Maradona - Messi - Pele - others. "Franco" meaning Zola, Baresi or Guillermo Franco? The chart itself is great, Animals and Crimson's debut are both in my top 10, and the whole thing is a very interesting read.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
