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 81.9/100, a mean average of 80.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.5.

Lot´s of classics, but some music is a little bit too nervous and annoying - I´m simply no Animal Collective fan.

Wu-Tang and GZA? Nice...

great list, it's a shame you have to top it with Radiohead
Great records in a great order.
the more i look at this list the more i like it: doolittle, slanted and enchanted, grace, another green world, Exile on main street... good stuff
piss coming out of my ass
wiener.
Thanks for the rating & comments! Of the 27 albums I have rated on your list, the avg was 75.6/100. I think Sgt Peppers & Pet Sounds are both great & essential. I've very happy that you've heard and appreciate them. I do think that they are somewhat overrated though. I thought that Highway 61 by Bob Dylan was a much better album in 1965. There's also several albums in 1967 that I enjoyed more than Sgt Peppers such as: Velvet Underground & Nico, The Doors, Parable of Arable Land and a few more. I'd strongly recommend you check them out, and if you have already then let me know what you think! Also, since you like Sgt Peppers, you may also like Frank Zappa's response to it: We're Only in it for the Money (1968). Good hearing from you!
