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 is rated in the top 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

Strange sounds ? Weird voices ? Odd Lyrics ? Merry Melodies ? Yep , all this and more included on this album . Brought to you by the incomparable David Lynch . Cinema for your ears .
By turns, eerie, self-indulgent, sensual and hilarious (sometimes simultaneously), David Lynch's "Crazy Clown Time" is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a profoundly bizarre debut filled with atmosphere and his wacky sense of humour. Even though it's of a lesser quality compared to the majority of his films, his debut is a work of art that undeniably feels like it was brought to Earth from another universe (it sort of was if it came from the depths of Lynch's mind). For Lynch fans, or for fans of warped americana, this is definitely a worthwhile listen.
