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 65.8/100, a mean average of 51.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 51.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 28.4.

I'm glad someone recognizes Tonight's value. Not my top pick, but it's a damn good album.
Lots of Modest Mouse too... Not a bad list at all.
And sometimes people are simply wowed by an album on their first listen. I understand that. Illinois, Angel Dust, Clouds Taste Metallic, Images Of Sigrid... and yes, Tonight too. I knew their value as soon as I heard the first notes. People like Teodor shouldn't give you a hard time because of it.

A lot of interesting picks, and great albums. It does seem very heavy on just the recent music though.
