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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.3/100, a mean average of 68.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

Rise Against at the top of their musical career, this album is a true masterpiece. Not a song under 8/10 in here, and it flows perfectly. 10/10.

One of my favorite albums especially by Rise Against. I really want to put this one on my top 100 2000's chart but I'm waiting for the average rating to reach 70% or higher :P

I enjoy this album quite a bit. Only problem is the song structure stays pretty similar throughout the album. Still a good bunch of tunes.

Different Rise Against from the last albums. Lyrically, there is a lot more narrative while the political content remains intact. You could say a lot of it is lighter too but that doesn't mean it is a quiet album. Savior is a fantastic song while there are plenty of other great ones on the album (The Dirt Whispered, Entertainment).
