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 5% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.8/100, a mean average of 89.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.4.

Outstanding 2010s chart! The selections I'm most excited to see here are An Awesome Wave, St. Vincent, Have One on Me, and Lost in the Dream--though there are many other good ones, too. I'm intrigued by your inclusion of The Monitor in your top ten, as I've listened to some other Titus Andronicus albums (and liked them), but not that one. That might make for some good listening on a snowy Thursday afternoon!

I never understood whats so good about Kanye and trust me I tried. I find TPAB better than Good Kid. The Suburbs is good, I wouldnt put it #1 but still lots of hits on that one. Aesop and Shabazz on here, nice. I find Cunninlynguists and Masta Ace also have good records in that era.

Brilliant choices 22 albums in common so this has to be one of my favourite charts on here. Tame Impala, Arcade Fire, St. Vincent & Sufjan Stevens will go down as creators of brilliant music in the decades to come.

Interesting chart. A lot of good material. Some not my taste, but some that I haven't heard yet. Gotta give them a good listen! I don't get the popularity of Kanye West either. But obviously, some do.

34 in common so looks like we've got pretty similiar tastes. So your chart will be a very useful sounding post as many I haven't listened to yet here! Well done.
