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 82.5/100, a mean average of 79.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.9.

Nice chart. Anything that gives Rattlesnakes a mention gets a thumbs up from me.

I consider myself to have pretty broad musical tastes, but there's probably 45 albums on that list that I've yet to hear/experience. English prog has been a mainstay in my tastes, but never really ventured over into English alternative. Nonetheless, its refreshing to see such a list that doesn't just rattle off the obvious choices (Pet Sounds, anything Beatles, Floyd, Zep, etc.)

Great to see Loveless at number one. Some very good alternative picks, like Pills'n'Thrills and Vauxhall and I..
