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 21% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

From the sumptuous strings of the intro, through to the chatting with the ‘tree people’ (who are hanging around the edge of the theatre to catch a free view of the concert) everything about this album is piping hot comfort. A steady stream of classic songs flow – Crunchy Granola Suite; Cherry, Cherry; Sweet Caroline, interspersed with the eccentric Porcupine Pie and Soggy Pretzels. In short, its sheer easy-going pleasure...reassuring, like macaroni cheese. More at...
