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 79.6/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.2.

Blonde Redhead led me here, "Stand Up" had me hooked. Nice list.

Thanks for the feedback.
20 albums chart is actually quite limiting for me yet I did put the albums that I like the most. On the other hand, I will make some changes in the chart to especially use it as stepping stone for the favorites list and the overall albums list (e.g. I didn't see Soft Machine I).
I hope that you will find my (on going) favorites more compelling.
Thanks,
Rani

Also having one quarter of your list being radiohead is a little overboard
