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 6% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.4/100, a mean average of 87.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.3.

37 albums in common! Blonde On Blonde at 1 and Souvlaki By Slowdive in the top 10 stand out to me. Love both of those records. Very interesting list to go through. Thank you.
