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 72.7/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

The most important difference is…”

A fucking great album man. Better than the blues rock shit that was going on. This is one of the first psychedelic rock records. The last song is LSD, which was not even popular yet in 1965.

Pretty Things has some good R&B-flavored tracks here which fought my attention. A substantial and even partly nasty-sounding effort..
