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 is rated in the top 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.8/100, a mean average of 89.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.3.

Don't take albums out just because other's think it's 'safe'. If you like it you like it. This chart is still great, but it seems like it's not as genuine...

Dude, I absolutely love your chart! We have lot of bands in common and I completely respect all your choices. It shows that you really put YOUR favorite albums and not just chose albums that everyone likes on this site. You really have unique taste. Plus I also am happy to see you chose Sister than Daydream Nation like everybody else on this site. Sister is really good and I personally think its better than DN
