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 10% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

Don't know why I stopped playing this. I know I got some C86 album last time but I'm too lazy to find it right now (I think it was Backwash which I've listened to now, and love, in any case) Anyway Gerhard I see you like some Post Rock and I'm assuming you've already heard Slint's Spiderland so I…

A really interesting, dark slow-core album by the singer of Slint. Just be aware, it stays slow and mellow the whole time, so don't be expecting Spiderland 2. It is still very good, but in a different way.
