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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

Something with colossal song structure, sound, and/or riffs, lyrics dealing with some very deep or thought provoking subject matter or something flat out intense. It's sort of like: I know the albums seem to lean towards metal-ish sounds, but I'm…”

I get that there is a persistent theme to this album but with very little variety in the tone, I tend to switch off before the end of the album. A hard listen from start to finish.

Decent enough album but am I going to listen to it a lot? No (Edited)
