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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 78.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.2.

One of the coolest most random yet creepiest album covers ever haha. I had to listen to it! Ended up really liking it, it's like if the lead singer of the Guess Who was in a hard rock/prog type band.
