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 albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

A much better track list than Vol. 1, but slightly let down by "Girl Afraid" and "Bigmouth Strikes Again", not bad songs (they never wrote a bad song), just not as good as the rest of the album.

You just cant beat it. But I have to be in the mood for a 'nostalgia' rush.............Some of the finest and most intelligent songs ever recorded.
