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 89.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.5.

Wow, we have really similar tastes in music. 27 albums and 24 artists in common and I love almost all of the other records on this chart. Nice work.

Boatman's Call and Head on the Door are two fantastic choices... Now I wonder why both of them aren't in my chart...
