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 79.7/100, a mean average of 79.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

Fantastic album by the legendary Miles Davis Quintet. Ideal jazz starter album. Was my first proper jazz disc and after the first bucket of water the sea awaits.

The Miles Davis Quintet of 50's is the best combo of golden era of jazz. The chemical of members is astonishing: Coltrane, Garland, Chambers, Jones and Miles are in another dimension, the fith....or unknown. And the records are timeless and wonderful.
