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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

Undeniably, the sonic output is quite mesmerizing, yet I find myself at odds with the lyrical content. It grates on my senses to such an extent that any attempt at a second listening becomes an exercise in futility. The words seem to channel the musings of a 13-year-old grappling with the enormity of global issues, packaged within a virtuoso soundscape that hardly compensates for the lyrical shortcomings.

The band Riverside, I confess, hasn't graced my playlist in a few years. Perhaps in the past, my ears were less discerning, less troubled by potentially mediocre lyrical content. Or maybe, this latest endeavor represents a significant departure from their previous standards, presenting a concept album grappling with present-day dilemmas that, unfortunately, falls flat in its articulation.
