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 89.3/100, a mean average of 89.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.8.

glad i to see the change. But mostly glad the comment brought me back here. Just read through this whole chart again, and it was great. Green On Red, Merle and Willie Dixon inclusions blew my mind a bit. The whole chart is great.

Oh, I read there were even Felt in it once. I hope wonderful Kacey didn't kick then out. I completely dislike some of the records you include but it's a chart by someone who listens closely and without prejudice and in the end we seem to agree on a lot. I grew up with the Postcard bands and I came here because of Camille.

Love seeing a chart without the predictable albums, especially Billy Bragg that is Gold that album
