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 68.5/100, a mean average of 67.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.1.

That other comment is way off. This is a great album. Some of the black crowes coolest stuff came after 3rd album. True, they stopped making radio hits, but that was for the betterment of the albums. By the way Jimmy page did tour with the black crowes, so the greatest guitar player of all time thinks their ok. Three snakes and a charm is also a great album. Warpaint live is astonishing.
