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 73.0/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

Katy B's memorable debut is essentially twelve bangers in a row. Each of them draw from various different strands of dance and electronic music, yet the whole record flows well together and although there are a few lulls throughout the 47 minute record, it's difficult to argue when the tracks on offer possess such high quality. "On A Mission" is therefore a big, dancey, fun success !

Katy’s certainly talented but the album doesn’t have enough interesting ideas(sonically or lyrically)or enough edge to it’s fairly standard club atmosphere to really engage or distinguish itself from other moody modern electronic-based albums. Dissapointing but she has potential

She reminds me of a less-sage robyn with less attitude. Her power vocals charge atop electronic samples from house to techno. (I appreciate the prodigy sample in "go away".) On "disappear" she reminds me a bit of beyonce. Compliments in both references.
