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 has a Bayesian average rating of 67.6/100, a mean average of 66.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.2.

Brilliant album. Saw Whitesnake live at the Cornwall Coliseum in a hot summer in the eighties. Still have visions of John Lord rocking his Hammond organ back and forth, Cozy Powell, a powerhouse behind the shimmering drum kit and David Coverdale,leather trousers clad, really engaging the audience. When I listen to this album it takes me back to that concert. Superb!

Great blues-based rock album. Includes two of the 'snakes best songs, Fool For Your Loving and Ain't Gonna' Cry No More.
