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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.0/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

fantastic compilation with great little sound bites from DJ Wolfman Jack. Soundtracks don't get much better than this!

Great compilation of late 50s-early 60s classics and feel-goods. Movie good, too. Wolfman Jack's intros seemed cooler in '73 - cheesier now.

All of the best songs of the 1955-1963 era are on this album. In fact, it would be easier to list the songs that are not here than to list the ones that are.
