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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.6/100, a mean average of 80.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

Some extreeeemely slow burn grooves. Rewards your attention. 70’s Miles Davis is unstoppably cool. (Edited)

An excellent album. Miles Davis really stretches his musical pallet in this funky masterpiece. Some superb tracks here, especially, rated x, and, Billy Preston. Good stuff.
