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 72.9/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

This is the album that introduced me to Bonnie Raitt. Bought it from a second hand shop in 2022 on a whim and loved it straight away. I am now slowly making my way through her backlog, enjoying each new record I discover. So glad I took that chance, and I have the rest of her catalogue to look forward to.

A great rock/blues album with hints of pop, folk, and jazz, it's brilliant. The playing is superb and the record features some great tracks in opener, give it up or let it go, the lovely second number, nothing seems to matter, and the standout, too long at the fair. Great album.
