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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

Pretty good sophomore album. Its a lot like the debut album, but it doesn't have tracks that stand out quite a much. Its still a really enjoyable listen though.

Kind of forgotten by being in between the debut and the classic, Damn the torpedoes. Not as good as either of those albums but still a good rock'n'roll album. You're gonna get it!

The ol' sophomore slump. Not as strong as their debut or the classic album that followed. However there are a few great tracks in the middle.

This is the sound of a band about to shift up. Damn the Torpedos is next.
