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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

This album is a bit reminiscent of Deerhunter albums, though it also has it’s own sound to it. It has it’s moments, some of the songs are pretty good, all of it is very interesting, though it can get boring at times. A lot of it is very ethereal, a lot like Deerhunter’s music was. It’s a pretty good album though, worth giving a shot.

I think I like Atlas Sound even better than Deerhunter, but then I listen to Deerhunter and the opposite is true. Two great bands who prove to me that even when I reach my nineties there will almost still be great new bands out there to discover.
