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 71.3/100, a mean average of 69.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

To be honest... I'm definitly no Ozzy Osbourne Fan, but this Album is great. Jake E. Lee Plays a helluva guitar but most important… It's the Ozzy record with the best songwriting

If it wasn't for Jake Lee's guitar ability the album would be mediocre.

Pretty interesting. I'd call this "acid metal." Proves Jake Lee was no less talented than Ozzy's more famous guitarists (Rhodes, Wylde, Iomi)
