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 63.3/100, a mean average of 61.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.2.

Their best album, but still nothing special. Overall, 50/100.

Yeah, to be honest I like this band too much. They sound like some angsty emo band at times, but at least they're good at it. I don't know, Guilty Pleasure I guess. This is their best album, for all I care.
