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 70.7/100, a mean average of 68.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.8.

Best album of 1958, the year that I was born so holds a place in my heart.

Only song I really liked: Don't Take Your Guns To Town

Pretty average. Probably my least favorite effort I've heard. But then again, how do you get any better than his other efforts, right?

Some good songs, but Cash has done much better, I think.
