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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

A thoroughly, and at times willfully, strange effort from Devendra Banhart and a motley cast of artists from his loose collective of freak folk artists, Cripple Crow is probably Banhart's strongest effort (though I'd give honorable mentions to What Will We Be and Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon). I appreciate the juxtaposition of rockers to introspective tunes such as "Santa Maria de Feira," my favorite track on the album.
