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 75.0/100, a mean average of 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

“1. Jameth, I don't hear any cowpunk on this, but what I do hear is a damn good country album. This is all good music, but in my opinion Yoakam's slow, sad country ballads have a lot more to offer than his uptempo numbers. I have a feeling this album could be a grower, and I'll have to check out…”

The rocking Bakersfield side of the New Traditional Country. Fresh air, rarely breathed again since that time.

Mr. Yoakam made a fine record here. It still sounds fresh after 30 years. I only wish country music had followed his lead.
