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 81.1/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.3.

Not a big fan of THE STROKES but can how they can be a fave band

Personally, i dont like the strokes, so it is difficult to give you a nice rate. 7/10 for a few nice albums
Good chart but I don't know about comedown machine as number 2 of all time

I dig this. It's a really fun list. props.
Thanks Boo. I agree completely with your comment. Right now I am using this to take not of some of my favorites and I may organize it in the future.
A great list of modern records with a small helping of classics. I think you've only just scratched the surface of the great albums from the 60s and 70s tho. You'll have a great time discovering them as you expand your collection.
00's gener
ation list
This is by no means a list of the greatest ever albums. Just Collecting some of my recent albums.
