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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

There's a pretty big drop-off to side 2; in particular, Drunk Again is a waste of time. But side 1 is amazing, the horn section is great with Butterfield's killer harp. The songwriting is good, the singing is good--top-shelf white-boy blues on side 1.
