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 13% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.5/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.0.

LedZep 09/17/2016 12:12 | #175185
Interesting, maybe a little too 2000s and 2010s orientated. LOVE your descriptions of some albums, especially Kid A and In Rainbows

wooow...it's very amazing...this chart is very precious
buzzdainer 07/13/2016 14:36 | #171215
This is an outstanding chart! Funeral and Illinois are fantastic albums, and it's really nice to see Grimes's Vision on here. Your notes are detailed and fascinating--would love to see you continue to add those.

Good list! Will have to come back this one. Never heard of Low Roar. Appreciate your appreciation of Deafheaven and placement of Souvlaki at #2. So great.
