Rating metrics: 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 69.6/100, a mean average of 68.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

The Dixie Chicks best album was released in 1999, highlighted by "Ready to Run," "If I Fall.." and their best song, "Goodbye Earl." If you ask me, Earl had it coming. But now I'm nervous every time I'm served black-eyed peas.

This could have been much better if it wasn't for a few stinkers like "Cold Day in July" "Don't Waste Your Heart" and "Hole in my Head."

I liked this somewhat more by the end than I thought I would based on how I felt at the midpoint.
