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 72.5/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

This was the bands follow up in mainland Europe to their debut album ‘My Generation’ instead of ‘A Quick One’ which was the bands official 2nd Album in the U.K. The 4 tracks here that don’t appear on A Quick One are...Circles, Disguises, I’m A Boy (all brilliant) and In The City (decent).
