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 87.0/100, a mean average of 86.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.5.

Although the number one choice is surprising and worthwhile even if the artist is not, the rest of this chart is rather disappointing. So many choices that are just generic or worse like Oasis, Beck, Nirvana, Pavement or Jeff Buckley really make this chart less interesting than I expected from the initial picture.

Really dig this chart, a little biased towards 90s onward but there's some great stuff, very unique. Your #1 is not one of Bjork's albums which I've listened to, I'll need to give it a shot

Still one of my favorite charts. Even if I don't love every album on here, I love that this doesn't look like every other chart. Way to be, Sandra Dee.
