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 9% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.1/100, a mean average of 88.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.1.

I am from America and I can say for people who don't know Zemfira, those 1999 and 2000 albums from her are really good. I would recommend either one:)

It's a cool list with essential albums. Hell Love Kid A and In Rainbows. But to me feels a bit eh. Maybe in the future this list will show Russian albums as well as maybe other genres of music that got ignored. But that's just me.
