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 71.6/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.5.

I know I just listened to something but I can't believe I actually got through it in full. A girl screams for 30 minutes with some white noise over her. Wow. (Edited)

Emocionalmente abrumadora cuasi-elegía.

Esta es una de las obras de arte más intensas y radicales jamás creadas. Literalmente puedes sentir la música. (Edited)
