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 82.5/100, a mean average of 81.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.5.

All the choices are interesting and solid but you are neglecting such a large chunk of really good and interesting music

great chart...really like "I'm still in love with you", one of the best R/B albums.
