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 is rated in the top 7% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.3/100, a mean average of 88.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.3.

Very good.
CharlieBarley 09/02/2016 18:28
We have many albums and artists in common, 11 albums I think. And I have only done a Top 40!
Like to se a real mixture of American and British albums and the odd French one. Want to check out Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco as have heard a lot of good about it. Good chart!
With 19 albums and 23 artists in common, how could I not be impressed with your chart? But it's the comments that really make it great. I have not heard many of the albums on your chart - using your comments as a guide to which ones I might like. Thanks.

Love all of it
I'm amazed how people can just pick 1 album per act. Great that you have Radiohead, Massive and Love in there as well as we have 12 artists in common. Personally I couldn't help but choose more than 1 album by favourite bands.
Fantastic chart, detailed and varied.
Really great top 10 not self indulgent very honest and great comments

Our charts are actually a lot more similar than I thought. Many of your choices and artists resonate with me so much. Just going through this chart made me feel overjoyed. Everything just flows so well. It's now one of my favourite charts on this site.
really love your chart man!

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
