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 4% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.1/100, a mean average of 90.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.3.

This is a pretty chilled chart. I don't know a copy of artists so will check them out. Sigur Ros number 1 is a great choice and sets the tone. There is a smattering of heavy stuff to give a nice balance

I appreciate your sentiment in the description - I'd much rather a personal chart than someone trying to appeal to some false sense of "objectivity" in art, and as a result your chart is quite interesting. You're at a level to add 10 more, so I'd be interested to see what those were. You also could reach out a bit more into the last decade, since there have been a lot of great musical accomplishments recently. Overall, though, it's an excellent chart. "Heroes" as Bowie's best album is an interesting opinion, one I respect for sure (though don't personally agree with).
