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 10% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.9/100, a mean average of 89.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.7.

44 in common, my second favourite decade. Maybe some Pearl Jam, Stereophonics, Guns 'n' Roses, Placebo, Crowded House, Ozzy?

Nice! - though I think it's a little brave to do a top 100 albums of the 90s chart when you've only rated 114 albums from that decade. I'd be interested to see what it'd look like when you listened to some more!

Not a Bjork fan, but most of the rest is all great.
