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 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.8/100, a mean average of 89.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.8.

This is one of the more impressive charts I have seen, although mostly completely different from my own. The write-ups are quite decent, and the chart is quite diverse although I would say there is — for an overall chart — a little too much focus on a few artists.

Fantastic chart all around. For a proggy person I recommend to you:
Soft Machine - I, Third
Gong - Flying Teapot
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom.

I rarely rate other's people charts because I think it is kind of weird to judge people's taste. However, I don't hesitate to highly rate a chart such as this one, not because I agree with all of its choices, but because it is perfectly made.

This chart represent everything I'd like all charts to be: it is very personal, full of picks that are more obscure (I hate charts that look just like a reorganisation of the top-100 of this website) and there are tons of interesting comments explaining the choices. Good job!

As for the picks, I really like the inclusion of two Flaming Lips albums that are too often ignored: At War With The Mystics and Clouds Taste Metallic. Two wonderful albums by one of the greatest band of the last 30 years. Also, I'm glad to see Surf's Up here, what an underrated album! Crocodiles by Echo & The Bunnymen is another choice I really like. Not the typical E&TB we see on most chart, but I agree it's one of, if not their best. And what about See You On The Other Side by Mercury Rev! Bold choice, I like that you included this gem in here.

Your chart also convinced me to look into two bands I still haven't listened to enough : Gorillaz and NoMeansNo. Thanks and keep up your good work!

Thanks for showing your wonderful chart with all your lovely notes. I really like many of these fun albums, such as Spilt Milk, Wrong, and The Mollusk. I will give a try to Prefab Sprout now. :)

What an absolutely gorgeous chart!!! The write-ups are as personal and special as the picks themselves. You manage to hit right in the special pleases with them!

Mind if I borrow the concept of grading how the album has grown? Really love the idea, it kinda gives another perspective on how the record relates to you.
