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 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

“This 1957 comp collects singles released between 1951 and 1956. It has a lot of energy and represents King's early years of recording well. The best known track on here is "3 O'Clock Blues", but the rest of the material is very consistent in quality as well. I didn't find this awe-inspiring, but I…”
