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 72.7/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.2.

This is one of my favourite albums of all time; a perfect blend of mechanical punk with pop roots. No other album is simply quite like it. I think the main problem is that the album is just too different for most people to appreciate, though I remember lying on bed listening to this and falling instantly in love with every minute as soon as I heard it personally. This is the Sound's Kid A.
