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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Amazing this has only 1 comment and is ranked 12,932 in the overall chart. Classic example of hidden gem's that people miss which is why I love using this type of site. An absoulte masterpiece and may get into my top 10 albums of all time. A beautiful piece of work. Dreamlike at times. Beautiful vocals and words. If you like heavier type of music this may not be for you. If you like beautiful music that touches the soul, oh get this.
