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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

“a couple rapid fire thoughts on 1974 albums skynyrd kicks ass. great rock band. And this album holds up as one of their best if not maybe theri best album. The hit at the start helps but from there they cover all the bases, a dash of respect for the old bluesmen, a rebellious record company jab…”
