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 73.1/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.1.

“And now 1994: An album I already own: Not everybody calls this metal and of course this record fitted perfectly in the indie boom of these years but what the heck, this is one of the best hard albums ever with track after track (with Nowhere at the top) absolute delirious stompers. I was and remain…”

Definitely the best from Machine Head; most of all, one of the very few albums not standard metal who deserves to be listened.
