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 has a Bayesian average rating of 80.6/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.6.

It's a good start, but I respectfully think that Day & Age and Dig Out your soul have no business on a list with Dylan, the Beatles, the smiths, and other greats. Think about it--what really is a great album of all-time?

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
