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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.4/100, a mean average of 92.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.0.

I'm loving your appreciation of the artistic merit in quality electronic music. Burial is quite possibly a musical genius and Aphex Twin has the runs on the board as an innovator from way back. But I'm also impressed with the recognition of Immunity by Jon Hopkins which I think is a masterpiece and shows a real promise in the evolution of his art. I am wondering if you were a fan of The Field at all. He is an artist that I rate very highly for the subtleties his music. The looping can be a bit repetitive for some but it really rewards immersion with headphones.

Really really great chart, and its uniqueness leans in the direction of my own interests as well. Would love to see some comments other than top tracks.

A lot of classics, but some damn fine ones. Love seeing Wire up so high. A Saucerful of Secrets is an interesting choice as well. Nice job!
