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 71.4/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

From mickilennial 01/07/2015 17:26 in What album are you listening to right now?
“my opinion of garbage has diminished over the years. i loved them in the 90s. see what i think this time as i attempt to nail down my top 600. I thought this was their best record in like a decade or more, honestly.”

It's kind of funny that this mediocre album has the exact same average rating as their far better self-titled album.
