Rating metrics: 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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 77.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

A slightly uneven record to be honest, but featuring some wonderful moments with Lou Reed's, Perfect day, Iggy Pop's, Lust for life, and of course Underworld's iconic, Born slippy. The whole of the nineties is summed up in that beautiful opening keyboard riff. It's staggeringly lovely. A very good, if not quite great soundtrack album to a truly great film.
