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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.4/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

Frankly, I don't know what Lambchop could have done best than Nixon (and particularly "Up with People") to get some love. Delicious orchestral country-soul is one of the best LPs of the 00s, try it.

A bit uneven and unconsitent for my taste, the last couple tracks dropped my rating of the album by 5 points (75/100)

I have found a new favourite group, among many, but so very fun. A lot of albums to go through:)

I'm not cool enough to get this. Too slow and unenergetic for my taste.
