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 72.1/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Kind of weird, I really like it though. I blame benpaco, for exposing me to this fine release.

I remember this album coming out in 2012 and just passed over it, trying a few snippets in iTunes because of the cover art. It took hearing track 4 on the Netflix show 'the end of the ****ing world' to give the album a try, and fell in love with it. Ordered on vinyl.
