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 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

“These are two albums of 2002 I listened to: A album I already own: I always had a love/hate relationship with this band. Sometimes they get a little bit too proggy but I generally even like also those ones. This is one of these albums where they really do a good mix of everything they can from…”

One of the bigest musical suprises you will ever find, there are musical gems around every corner. Anyone who has taken drugs, longed for missing loved ones, gone on an adventure or dreamt of travelling on the road would be amazed at the energy and sincerity captured in every song.

They may never replicate this magic, but for one album, Nada Surf was perfect. These songs pack such a fantastic emotional punch.
