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 84.4/100, a mean average of 83.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.6.

I dig this list. Not everything's for me, but there's distinct preferred styles and a big emphasis on Australian artists which is very cool.

Great list. I need to listen to a lot of your selections as I think we look for the same things in albums.
Thanks for sharing

Great and very consistent collection of records. There are some that I don´t know, so I will give them a try.

Excellent list!

Really cool chart! Air in the top ten that's cool. Anastasis by Dead Can Dance is so good I need to buy it! Just recently got War Stories by UNKLE. Where Did the Night Fall is even better but War Stories is definitely good. Only one in common but you have a bunch of great albums on here. I'll have to check out that Elbow album from last year, didn't realize they put one out. Checked out this chart cuz you liked the new Poliça.
