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 71.0/100, a mean average of 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

“Class of '77: The Five U Don’t Know That U NEED to Hear! Each of these flirted pretty hard with my top ten and fell just a bit short. A couple were right in the mix before the whittling hours of the past few days came for their heads. No matter. I found another spot for them here. All come with the…”

I'm far too hard on ol' Bessie. I really did enjoy it, he has a satisfyingly soulful croon, but I've heard the music before and better on 'The Wild, the Innocent and the E-Street Shuffle'. It'd be a fine party album.
