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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

Heavy killer dub LP, a record where traditional dub coexists with sci-fi effects (the cover's a dead giveaway) and the Echo and reverb turned up to 11. The first two tracks and the heavenly Shake The Nation are the key moments, where in the latter the drums sound like they're being played with lasers in a black hole. A hugely under-appreciated and crucial dub gem.
