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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.9/100, a mean average of 69.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

“I'm looking for albums which are jut all over, scattered, that seem to just change pace and tone and style etc at the drop of a dime and a lot through out the album. It could be any style at all - as long as it just seems to switch shit up all over, over and over. Uh OK some of these aren't as…”

Although some parts of this feel too much like an over-dramatic rock opera, overall this was a breath of fresh air. Picked it up on recommendation from a friend and I was VERY pleasantly surprised. Since I've had to lend it out to a few people, even :)
