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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.4.

Oh Hank... How you make me sad. I've never heard a country artist who call pull at the heart strings in such a simple way as Hank Williams.

A truly great album, yet unpopular due to age, "Hank Willians Sings" is extremely consistent.

Nice album, Hank always with his perfect voice. Not up to the standards of Moanin' The Blues (the songs aren't as great), but still very nice!
