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 69.6/100, a mean average of 68.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

Some really beautiful and catchy tracks that pre-luded Mumford and Sons, Lumineers, etc in the flood of folk pop. Second Lover is one of the most tender songs I've ever heard

I understand if you find Noah, boring and uninteresting, but this album just makes me happy happy! This album tells us an amazing love story, which it doesn't exactly has a happy ending, its just music to relate to
