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 86.9/100, a mean average of 87.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.8.

Very, very good chart.

We hardly knew ye. Peace out, my man.

Cool selection! The one thing that confuses me is that your two favorite albums of all time are both jazz albums, and then there isn't a single other jazz album in the whole chart! That feels a bit like fishing for clout. Or you just have very, very specific taste in jazz.... Anyway, the chart is full of great picks! Keep it up
pjohnsongolf 11/13/2018 18:41
Great chart!Im gonna have to check out that Mingus album!

Really really like the pics, great mix of artists and genres - excluding the pre-90s. This is a good start to a greatest ever album chart but having had a quick sift through your ratings I feel there's a lot of undiscovered gems of the older decades that you're missing out on. Here's a few I think you might enjoy:
Can - Ege Bamyasi (1972)
The Stooges - Fun House (1970)
Nico - Chelsea Girl (1967)
Neil Young - Harvest (1972)
Talk Talk - Spirit Of Eden (1988)
Love most of the albums with a couple here and there that I absolutely hate- which means this is a pretty good chart

Love that Tycho album you've included! My favourite has to be Past Is Prologue though, you can check that one if you haven't already.
Ok chart
Wow. This is amazing. Every album here was soothing, love your honesty
