Rating metrics: Help 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 79.7/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.8.

this list has really improved since i last saw it, i'm friends with banana brother, and he'll agree and prob change his rating. the only thing is gorillaz and ratm but only built for cuban linx, midnite mauraders, and cold vein are great hip hop picks

where is sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band? Where is Revolver, Rubber Soul? Abbey Road and The White Album are greats albums, but not better than the three I just listed.

Your second page is more creative than your first page, which is kind of generic. Not too bad, though.
