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 88.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.9.

Cool chart! Nice diversity of artists and genres. Good to see The Cure well represented. Nice to see you have a broad spectrum in tastes that range from very mellow to heavy. Very worthy picks at no. 1 and 2. (Edited)

Cool chart! I guess the only "complaint" would be that 80% of the albums here are very well known, but there are still several great recs. Overall, the chart is fun and relatively diverse while representing a lot of the directions/styles/genres I really dig. Like The Cure rankings, Wish is generally underrated imo. (Edited)

A great amount of overlay between our charts! I know the point of this platform is to discover new music, but sometimes you just gotta shout out another user with great taste!
