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 76.5/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

smrtboi2120 below with that absolutely spot on prediction. That comment was before the first single for channel Orange was even released, and they are so right. Frank O has revolutionized the whole RnB-Pop scene. The Weeknd too for that matter.

The album (mixtape) itself is pretty cool. Just as good as channel Orange maybe. Strawberry Swing is the highlight for me, though Novacane and There Will Be Tears are also great. Still not sure how I feel about the re-interpolated tracks at the end...

Just a taste of what was to come on channelORANGE. The best songs on this song and on channelORANGE could have made for the best album of the decade to date.

Along with artists like the weeknd, Frank Ocean is going to help change the face of R&B for this generation.
