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 67.6/100, a mean average of 64.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.4.

Big fan of the band but this album was just so forgettable. Can't even remember any songs off the album, which is never a good sign. Listen to their albums in the 90s - they were quality. This was a little too soon for them clearly.
