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 78.8/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 17.4.

Why not 40 albums? :P
Anyway, as much as I like Rift, I'm surprised there's no Picture Of Nectar on this list! I mean... you've even got Lawn Boy on there! Why not?
But all things reconsidered, it's still a good chart, you've got Steely Dan and a few others you enjoy myself.
Also, although I don't agree with The Wall as best Floyd album, I'm glad to see Animals on here; not enough people realize just how good it is.
I'll leave you to your music now, my friend, my friend.
