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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

“"Slow Motion" is a wonderful little synthpop gem from UK artist Jane Weaver. It's hard to believe that Weaver has been recording for nearly 30 years as she seems to be only critically recognized for her work in the last few years. The song is taken from her 2017 album Modern Kosmology, a really…”

This album is not my jam. Reminds me too much about Velvet Underground and Nico (version off the 2010's !
