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 57.0/100, a mean average of 42.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 40.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 24.9.

rolling zzzz
Rolling stone doing their thing once again
Not even that bad honestly, it has some of the best AND worst choices

I find it a good choice but there are much more interesting albums they could collect to their chart.
