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 69.6/100, a mean average of 67.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.4.

“Continuing with some big names: Another album released by Muddy Waters in 1960, this time it's a live one. In general, this kind of music depends a lot on the energy and the dynamics between the performer and the audience, so it's only natural that it ranks slightly ahead of his studio album,…”

A great collection of Standards ballads sung with great sensitivity by Sinatra and played with sweet and gentle arrangements by Nelson Riddle. Sinatra selected a collection of songs he had sang early in his career,that were rearranged with warm and cheery textures. Unlike his previous ballads albums, NICE 'N' EASY doesn't have a touch of sorrow. The interpretations of some songs come close to perfection: from the warm of "That Old Feeling", "You Go to My Head" and "Nevertheless" to the light and very relaxed title track.

Shortlisted for the 1961 album of the year at the Grammys. The winner in 1961 was The Button-Down Mind Of Bob Newhart by Bob Newhart (Edited)

There is always time for Frank. Why so low ratings?
