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 74.1/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

This album sounds pretty lame and this might be their worst? It lacks the groove and power.

Just an average rock 'n blues album. Nothing really stands out here.

Something of a relatively uninteresting lull between better albums.

Arrested for driving while blind, El diablo and Asleep in the desert make this album worthwhile. Actually this may be my favourite ZZ Top album.

It's Only Love is outstanding. Ten Dollar Man and El Diablo are good, too, but the rest is so-so.
