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 71.9/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.5.

This double album vinyl was delivered to my house earlier in the week and this evening I have sat down to experience what is an incredible prog album. I am so happy to have an Eloy album on vinyl. Their earlier works are impossible to find in good condition, if at all and go for silly money. Without a shadow of a doubt I will be ordering Part ll very soon!

My advice, buy the two albums on vinyl before they also become extinct!

Frank Bornemann always wanted to make songs based on the story of Jeanne d'Arc. He did it on 1992's Destination and on 1994's The Tide Return to Forever. Now, part one of this masterpiece is born.
