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 81.8/100, a mean average of 80.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.9.

I give you 85 points for a just over average chart when you make 100 I give it a new try.
Great List find Radiohead appears a bit too much in Lists lately thou but they are a great Band
Great chart. I love your #1. Also I secretly hope one of your top dozen albums falls so that 13 by Blur can move up to #13 because that would be sick.

Amaaaaazing.
It's a good start but its very heavy on English bands, especially Damon Albarn and Radiohead.
This is not a bad start. Keep on digging.

I never liked Think Tank. I've given it many tries.
That said, it doesn't spoil this list.
