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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.0/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

“Two albums of 1996 I listened to: An album I already own: Compared to their first album A.M., this is a giant leap forward for Wilco. It's a double album and that means there's a bit of filler: there's sad songs which are a bit country schmalz (The Lonely 1) but a track like Say You Miss Me never…”
