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 83.9/100, a mean average of 82.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.4.

I really dont like the 80s.... and your top picks reflect exactly why. For me the 80s are better when you dig deep into punk and hip hop, which I see that you have a little bit. Some alternative rock is okay, like the Pixies. I like a few songs by The Cure but damn their songs drag on and on and on and on.....

Strange....we have 28 great albums in common yet you gave my chart a 40/100? I guess you must really dislike the other 72 albums on mine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

One of the strangest chart by far. Marillion/Queensryche/Sonic Youth/Michael Jackson in a row... Nice are the R.E.M. in their place
