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 88.6/100, a mean average of 88.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.2.

37 albums in common! Blonde On Blonde at 1 and Souvlaki By Slowdive in the top 10 stand out to me. Love both of those records. Very interesting list to go through. Thank you.

Great chart. Definitely a lot of shared taste here. Even if all the choices aren't the most eclectic for their genre, I really appreciate the diversity. Especially, love the Have a Nice Life. Generally a bit underrated imo
