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 72.5/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.9.

Being an Australian I’m probably more than a little biased in saying Courtney Barnett is a national treasure & proof that if someone can go from their bedroom in Preston Melbourne to global stardom and appearing on Ellen within a short few years, well, anyone can

And despite the middling critical reviews this album title gives away it’s secret because when it comes to ‘Things Take Time Take Time’ they really do take time with a release that’s takes patience and repeated rotations to fully appreciate and enjoy
