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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.9/100, a mean average of 78.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.6.

A fine debut album from Johnny, who was no doubt one of the fastest and best guitarists of his time and still is.
He was never raised to superstardom albeit giving diamond-hard performances onstage. His live albums are electrifying....

Grande Winter sia all'elettrica che all'acustica: Muddy Waters e Robert Johnson ma anche rock blues e pure soul. E modello dello Stevie Ray Vaughan che verrà…

Why does Johnny Winter have such a derpy voice? Sadly, his great guitar can't drown out the derpiness.
