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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

Debut and most successful album by Pearls Before Swine. The album is made of psychedelic folk with a peculiar vocal style (repulsive at first and then captivating!). Classic album of the 60's!

A very gentile almost soporific psychedelic experience. The vocalists speech impediment actually adds to the unusual musical delivery. Bizarre cover art wrap up a really unusual psychedelic album. (Edited)

Un folk psichedelico suonato spesso in punta di plettro, pure quando le canzoni prevedono soluzioni più elaborate; una musica intima, melodica, anche quando diventa più ritmata.
