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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

These are the two albums of 2005 I listened to: First an album I already own: Coldplay got really big with this album but popularity is not always the synonym of sell-out or bad. The songs all feel very lush and expansive but every single track of this beautiful album has something special and the…

I liked this a lot. Gave it a couple listens almost compulsively. Couldn’t help but push play again after it stopped. Previous experience with The Drones was limited to a few tracks from I See Seaweed which got some love and attention the first few months I was on this site. I can’t remember…

Love this band! like a mix between the Rolling Stones, Grunge and Garage rock. Shark Fin Blues perfectly highlights The Drones sound/feel
