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 77.1/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Two albums of 1987 (and one of 1985) I listened to: An album I already own: Suzanne Vega was one of the best female artists of the eighties and this is one of her best. The little miniature Tom's Diner is maybe to some ears a but too much of a miniature to be really good but to me this is…
