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 73.5/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

One of the most aptly named albums of all time. Spaced out, swampy jungle rock that features some shredding on the guitar by Poison Ivy.

I truly believe the world would be a better place if more people listened to 'The Cramps'. This is a fantastic album of horror inspired rock 'n roll. Highlight for me is 'Goo Goo Muck' - one of my all time favourite songs!
