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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Buddy really nailed it with this one and helped usher in yet another blues revival. His singing and playing are both so full of soul and expression and the production is crystal clear. Magnificent modern blues album!

Such killer old school blues seemed a bit out of place in the 90s, but it was certainly welcome. Few musicians had to work longer and harder to get their due than Buddy.

Excellent. In Small doses. Really not my thing for an entire album. Highly produced, pretty generic sounding modern blues. Everything's done well... it's just pretty predictable.
