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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.5.

Wow, I love this record a lot. Realistically this was R&B that you would have to die for. Cause not only are these songs are head knockers but just sound flawless.

For mass-produced r&b pop, this isn't actually that bad...
