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 84.5/100, a mean average of 84.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.2.

Fantastic list ! Anybody who has Killing Joke ; Dead can dance ; Pink Floyd; The Cure ; The Sisters Of Mercy and Metallica on his chart has to be a good person .... : )

Very intriguing list! I enjoyed it, even though we only have 12 albums in common.
Me thinks thou might be a goth kid.
Tamthebam 08/16/2023 13:13
A really good chart full of depth
Nice chart - always like it when albums I have never heard of get into someone's top 100. Gives me something interesting to explore.
Love your chart! Really interesting choices, plenty I haven't heard but plenty in common with my chart. Must check out some of those Spanish and Potuguese artists you have here. Disintegration is definitely worthy of number 1.
Great chart.
Excelente, tirando os Delfins e os Ban. ?
joedec 08/25/2022 10:16
Awesome list. And we both have The Cure's Disintegration as our #1 favorite albums.
rockbluesfolkjaz 09/19/2021 20:33
Though I have a hard time doing it myself, I love seeing The Cure and The Smiths chart well. Great list!

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 :(
