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 6% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.4/100, a mean average of 89.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.9.

As much as I dislike Aeroplane and Arcade Fire, Pinkerton at No. 1 is just undeniably awesome, especially with Spiderland and Loveless also in the top 10. Misfits just seal the deal. Well job friend! Lot's of great stuff here and plenty of variety.

Nice chart! Good top ten, with many classics. I like the predominance of the 90' in the chart, as you did it of excellents album that in a few years will be classics, like "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" and "OK Computer". However, there are some albums i find not interesting, and you only included 8 albums of the 60', so maybe you are losing some great albums. Overall, good chart!
