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 is rated in the top 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

Quite incredible. Nothing sounds like it. Except maybe Bohemian Rhapsody.

Dick Around and As I Sit Down To Play The Organ are two of the greatest songs ever written, and possibly the greatest of Sparks' entire career. Not a bad feat 35 years after their debut

Quirky, off-beat alt/rock/pop, these guys are at their best when at their weirdest. "dick around" and "here kitty", as the best examples, are fun and funny tracks.
