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 84.1/100, a mean average of 82.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.2.

A little Rolling Stone-esque, but can't argue with most of the quality here.

Una lista mucho más apegada a la música de Estados Unidos, en lo particular prefiero más la música de grupos británicos, no obstante tienes grandes clásicos incluidos ahí, debo admitir que también los he escuchado alguna vez.

Other than a few, it's pretty standard top 100 stuff really, a bit narrow in style and age for me. No doubt some really good albums but lacking.
