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 84.0/100, a mean average of 81.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.2.

I would invest in a rolling stone subscription if I were you.

It's nice to see some Two Door Cinema Club. And of course some of my other favorites like The Killers and The Shins. Lots in common, and overall this is very nice. Oasis at #1 seems a little weird to me, but I do really enjoy the 2 albums of theirs that you have here. Just seeing them at #1 is weird I guess. Honestly I'm a bit surprised that there's no Muse on here, but even still it's great!

Well... I haven't got the bravery to put Oasis as #1 (being my favourite band)

I find more stuff that I like (The Ramones, The Kinks, Dylan, The Doors) closer to the bottom than the top. I'm kind of perplexed by all the Springsteen picks as well. Can't say I've ever seen so many picks from The Boss on one list.

It seems that you listen to music to be happy and to have fun. That's nice, I'd like to see some more heavy and meaningful stuff on here though.
