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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

The Kim Gordon aura is so strong, it's really creepy. The album is sometimes a bit bland, but a bunch of heart wrenching songs (the powerful "California") and crazy vids (check out the psychy "Milkman") make up for it. Great debut !
