Rating metrics: Help 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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

A unique voice, great lyrics and brilliantly crafted songs. I can listen to this album over and over but it is for a more subdued mood.

I worshipped the ground Natalie Merchant walked on by the time this album came out, to say I was looking forward to it is an understatement. I loved the album and played it constantly, even more than my Maniacs stuff. I think I've grown a BIT weary of it in recent years though, I come back to it now and then, but it's not one I still listen to all the time like Jagged Little Pill or Tuesday Night Music Club.
