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 73.4/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.3.

Vanilla Fudge is one the most underrated bands of the 60's. Daring and imaginative this band takes it all the way and this record is no exception.

Less impressive than both of their previous releases. Still some great moments though.
