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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

It's bouncy, fun, light, enjoyable, and has a certain cheekiness to it. And the group certainly has talent in it. I just don't think this is a good album though. It's not bad, but it lacks that 'thing' that makes you care about it. It just kinda floats by. Sorry guys, maybe album #2?

Pleasant and unchallenging album. I can hear the enjoyment of making this music. Nice bouncy guitars and standard lyrics. Nothing new but nice enough. At The Farm was one of the more engaging tracks and 'Is and Is and Is' was another favorite.
