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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.3/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Fantastico music with strangely great lyrics and stories. Opening lyrics pose an interesting question ? Album immerses you and makes you want to be one of harvesters of the sea too. 3 quality musicians

This record is phenomenal start to finish. Easily my favorite primus album. I saw these guys at mammoth events in Denver. Mr. Krinkle from pork soda played on the standup base was so thick you could swim in it...
