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 75.4/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

With the final album of Steve Earle's 5 year / 4 album peak, Transcendental Blues is one of my top 3 albums of the year 2000. This is a very very consistent album, one which having 15 tracks makes you wish he threw on a couple more. I think any of these could be somebody's favorites, but mine come towards the end, tracks 10-11, which are titled "When I Fall" and "I Don't Want to Lose You Yet", on which Steve's wife Stacie shows off her vocal skills.
