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 69.7/100, a mean average of 69.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

“These are the albums of 1982 I listened to: First an album I already own: OK I admit this is by no means even a good album if not for it's historic value. I'm a great fan of Hüsker Dü and this first EP (even if it has seventeen tracks) is just a muddled mess of very short tracks which just pass by…”

Loud, fast, angry, and raw. What more could you want from a hardcore punk album? A worthy entry in the discography of Hüsker Dü.
