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 70.8/100, a mean average of 69.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

An odd collection of tunes. Hard to listen to straight through on vinyl. CD works well for this one with the skip button.

Obviously a money grab for the record company. Two strong tracks but most of the other tracks, filler.

Kinda like Flowers by The Rolling Stones. Some original material, some from other albums. A bit of a mish-mash, but there's strong tracks here.
