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 21% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 7.6.

M. Ward would be a good act to see in a big, rowdy bar. Songs like "never had nobody like you" and "rave on" would have the crowd smiling and singing along between slugs of beer. "jailbird" also shows off his playful side. The rest of the album shows that he's mastered his form of americana as I haven't heard a clunker album from him yet. His performance doesn't translate to the stadium setting, but I don't feel he was meant for or would want to play in madison square garden. Religion and God weigh on his lyrics from "fisher of men" to "epistimology", beit positive or negative religious experiences, making for his most deep and personal album yet.
