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 83.6/100, a mean average of 80.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.8.

Surprised we have these particular varied artists in common. Shotgun Willie at 26th :D
enjoyable chart - you can't guess what is coming next.
Interesting chart. Some nice surprises. Maybe too much variety (I never thought I would say this :P) but it's a unique chart so I like it.
louisjwyatt 02/19/2015 16:42
Gets much more interesting after the top 10
rafalink 02/19/2015 11:54
Very good. There are some high rank albums, but at the same time, a great variety of style and I like it.
sssvnnn 02/19/2015 09:11
Very good chart.
I feel it´s mainly a mainstream rock chart with a broad view on rock music: Some folk included, some country, some alternative...looks good.
HoldenM 02/19/2015 09:09
La-la-la-la-laaaaa-love it.
meruizh 12/01/2014 01:45

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 :(
