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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

“Show No Mercy and Kill 'Em All are both 4.5 / 5.0 records for me. The A Tier, right beneath S Tier ingenuity and perfection/near-perfection. How do they stack up for me?
