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 71.6/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

I love this album! It's my favorite by Mr. Seger, I like every track. "Makin' Thunderbirds" is one of the hardest rocking songs he's recorded. It's a scorcher! "Shame On The Moon" is one of the best slower tempo songs he's done. Just a fine collection!

Roll Me Away is one of his best songs ever. Unfortunately the rest of the album is not up to that standard.
