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 86.1/100, a mean average of 84.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 17.5.

This is a really great chart! I feel like I get a good sense of what you like looking at it. I appreciate the experimental picks with some good classics for context. The Death Grips and Sleep picks stood out to me in particular, and I'll have to check out some of the Tom Waits stuff you've included.
