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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.1/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

I love the electronic EPs Noel released later on, but this album I just don’t get. I don’t understand who it’s supposed to be for. It’s too psychedelic to appeal to Oasis fans, but it’s not a record that makes you want to dance either. There are no catchy choruses, no lyrics you can really relate to. I love Oasis, I love Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, but I just don’t like this album.
