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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

Much prefer this to the electronic version. The live band really add something. Lapdance is a banger. Things Are Getting Better, Bobby James and Rockstar also great. No poor tracks really. Mostly danceable pop songs with a hint of rock, but there are a couple of slower-paced R&B tracks too. Great album.
