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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

Basement Jaxx continue with their “more is more” aesthetic, throwing everything they’ve got into this album and then adding something else to each track. Overproduction never sounded so good.

Have you ever thrown everything in your refrigerator between two slices of bread to see what it tastes like? Basement Jaxx probably do that every day for lunch. Gloriously overstuffed house music.
