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 72.7/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

Great debut album that speaks for itself because of the Grammy awards he received that year it was released. Perfect listening album with that yacht sailing sound. Some interesting and enjoyable music to sing-along. Never Be The Same is one of my favorites.

A nice pop record. Very mellow it's aged fairly well. Whatever happened to this guy?

Lots of catchy pop music here. If you're looking for something more edgy, you won't find it.
