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 9% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.1/100, a mean average of 89.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.8.

Lots to admire about this chart.
Surprised to see only 1 Aussie album in the top 100 of the 80's. It was a decade where Aussie music was making a big mark on the world stage.
very good chart
Good album chart I like it with most of well known albums I give you a good rating.
Wow, what a great eighties chart! I love many of the albums you've included here, particularly Doolittle, Graceland, Murmur, and Remain in Light. I'm also happy to see the Violent Femmes' self-titled debut in your top ten, as that one plays a huge role in many of my own memories of high school. Terrific work on this chart!
good chart, with Talking Heads and The Smiths well placed and The Replacements which is not so common.
All good albums. Good sense.
Good start. I think you could massively expand this chart however.
'Bout as good as it gets for poor old 80's.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
