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 71.5/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Not their best album sadly, it feels like the group recycled stuff they'd done on previous projects a lot of the time and IMO the production makes it sound overblown and at times corny

Y’know, it’s fun. You can’t take that away from this album. And because the technology at this time was already somewhat less outdated than previous works, I feel myself gravitating to this album a lot more often.
