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 84.7/100, a mean average of 82.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.5.

I dig this chart, and I might even rent a steam shovel for maximum diggage.

Some stuff I love here, other stuff not so much!

Really love the post punk picks on this.

I already rated this chart back in February but I'll leave a comment since it's chart of the day.
I find this chart really fascinating; for better or for worse you have a keen musical aesthetic that consistent throughout, though I wouldn't say sonically it's the most varied thing in the world the way the albums compliment each other gives your chart a distinct personality. Ordinarily I'd give recommendations of underrepresented genres but I'll recommend instead albums that I think might fit in nicely with your picks:
The Fall - This Nations Saving Grace
Minutemen - Double Nickels On The Dime
Young Marble Giants - Colossal Youth
Modest Mouse - This Is A Long Drive ...
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever To Tell
Very personal chart and, although I don't enjoy (or don't know) most of the top 10, I was pleased to see The Courage of Others and the Archive album near the end. Seems you dig deep and that's great, maybe some comments can help to raise your rating.

Very nice chart, love VS in the top 10, also Firstborn is Dead and both Joy Division albums. And it's not just well-known stuff, there are albums I haven't even heard of. Pretty cool chart.
