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 71.5/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

Everything you'd expect from the 'Dandies'. Some great songs but mostly mediocre. Not there best album but not there worst

"The Last High" ist the only high of this album. I appreciate how they try to mix genres here but most songs simply don't deliver (album rating: 37,69 %)

Too bad that the Dandys were so volatile, that they couldn't keep it cohesively together. They put out some great work in a short while, this album being their top. Grooves easily from track to track. A great soundtrack to cocktails and sketchy women.
