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.

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.

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.
