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 63.3/100, a mean average of 62.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.7.

From baystateoftheart 08/30/2021 00:41 in You must listen to the album below you: canon edition
1. I listened to the expanded edition, which is the only one on streaming and seems to be considered the definitive release. It has extra songs, a couple expanded tracks, and a bunch of trimmed tracks to make everything fit on one CD. The first real song is Yeah!, which is definitely the one I knew…

Pained, honest R&B from a singer at his lowest point.
