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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.3/100, a mean average of 82.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

This is an absolutely stunning collection of music. It just goes to show what a fantastic band The Rolling Stones were in the sixties. I know it's singles and their b-sides, but if only they added, under my thumb, yesterday's papers, and, midnight rambler, it would have been even better. Anyway, it's an amazing collection and every music fan should have a copy. Essential.

One of the greatest compilation albums of all time. A treasure trove of brilliant R&B and pop music. Outstanding. (Edited)
A treasure trove! Essential listening. A juggernaut of hits steamrolling everything else ever recorded into the ground! Almost as good as The Beatles! Almost. (Edited)
Really can't fault this compilation. Stunning.
One of the greatest collection of songs ever released. (Edited)
