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 66.9/100, a mean average of 63.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

“31.08.21 Well, after Future Shock I kind of got in a pretty bonkers groove today, but actually it was all 8) This album gets into serious ersatz jazz territory with covers of Michael Jackson and Cyndie Lauper. This is what I imagine Jazz lovers hate about this album, but what I realised today is…”

“This is probably the consensus pick for his worst album released before his death, so maybe give it a listen and get back to us? :) Yeah...I was rooting for this, but unfortunately I'd have to relegate it to dud status. I mean, why the heck did they go with those awful Casio demo keyboard sounds?…”

This is the only '80's Miles' album I've heard so far. While it's no Bitche's Brew, it's still enjoyable
