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 80.8/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 20.2.

Perhaps the only top 100 on the site with Newsom #1 and Morrison #2, aside from mine :)

From Amirkhosro 03/29/2018 23:19

The Scaruffi-core is just a little bit too strong in the top 14 but then it goes in a consistently interesting direction with one awesome album after the other. Love seeing Yeti and Surfer Rosa up there and VU & Nico is damn good #1. Great chart.

It's pretty eccentric and I love it. It's not even close to my chart but the fact I still like this just shows how good this chart is.

If I was trying to be a bit more objective than my own chart shows, I would say the top 2 here are bang on!
