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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

This record is a mixed bag. Some great songs and some filler. Worth a listen.

Not one of their best albums, but by the strength of Stealin' alone, I give it a 75. That is one of my top ten songs of all time.
