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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Catch Your Train changed my life. The vocals and guitar work on that track cannot be described in words. It is said best through the music it creates. Just get the whole album though. Just keep in mind that this isn't the 80s Scorpions you know.

While their 80's work made them a household name throughout the world, I actually prefer their hard rocking 70's stuff. They got on a run for a while that was incredible.
