Rating metrics: 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 64.0/100, a mean average of 61.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.6.

Too much d@mn talking! I'd rate this album a full 5 pts higher without all of the incessant, boring storytelling.

The songs are good, but the talking intro's are just too much.

Interesting idea, but there is no "lightning spark"...
