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

Blonde Redhead ;)
Perhaps too much Radiohead, but good
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
maxxy 10/14/2008 06:34 | #1518
I agree.

Very generic. Expand your horizons
