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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

“I knew about half these tracks from other compilations, and this is a good collection of bebop to be sure. However, some of the songs seem out of place, and it hasn't quite clicked for me yet. 3.5/5 This was a good slice of Hank Williams' material, with a bunch of tunes I knew and liked, and a few…”

What a great voice Hank has got. His songs are so powerful and his life story is full of tragedy and sorrow.
