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 73.9/100, a mean average of 62.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 34.7.

Great start, (though I would not agree with the Toto album!) This chart is all about listing the albums you think are the greatest or enjoy most, and it should be no surprise if it contains many that appear on the over-all greatest list. Many on this site seem to think that each list should be original and contain lots of 'clever' picks, save the original and 'clever' picks for custom charts!

Unoriginal, and honestly... The Wall has some of Pink Floyd's best songs BUT a lot of their worst work too. Wish You Were Here is so much better. I'll leave that to difference of opinion...
