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 73.2/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

“Note: Can everyone newer to this thread be consistent; a lot of content "have they reviewed something or are they just throwing stuff out for shiggles" is being buried and it would be really considerate if people put their review and their recommendation to the previous user in the same post…”

Beautiful album! Not a single throwaway cut and a few are absolutely top shelf. In giving it a 90/100, I may actually have shorted it a bit.
