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 71.5/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

“Etta James is one of the greatest vocalists ever, and this is where she came into her own. The material is more subdued compared to a lot of her bluesier work, but it's impeccably executed and very emotionally expressive. 4/5. This was a worthwhile hard bop album and very well crafted, but it…”
