Rating metrics: 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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.0/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.1.

Alright, but there are better collections of the Smiths songs and, to be honest, you should just get all of thier stuff, it's all great. If your looking for a best of, go for Sound of the Smiths.

I have nothing against the songs on this album, but The Smiths have too many compilations featuring the same songs every time that it feels repetitive and frustrating.
