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 71.8/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Really bad. Dull, no good songs and Natalie's vocals are low in the mix, Rob's guitar gets all the prominence, it's no wonder she left. On the two previous albums each song is a story but here you can't even make out what the vocals are saying, let alone be drawn in to them.

S just before she bailed, they come up with the one we thought they were capable of.

A fine album, but rather more mellow than their previous offerings.
