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 71.4/100, a mean average of 69.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.5.

Motorhead were so locked in at this point that they could have released a steaming pile of shit and somehow, someway it would still have tasted to the tongue like jailbait pussy. Supposedly Lemmy had gotten a bit lazy.…”

“Again a lot of metal albums for this year 1982 although the number should be 666. First an album I already own and what an album: This is the best metal album but one in my opinion (the best remains Master Of Puppets) and all tracks are great with the first 666 in the title track, one of the best…”
