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 70.1/100, a mean average of 69.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

"A Place in The Sun" was perhaps the last listenable "90's summer-themed" album that received airplay on modern rock radio stations in the US. Drenched in summer lyrics & California sunshine (much like material from Sublime, Sugar Ray & No Doubt), Lit briefly hit the big time. Then BOOM!!! Rock radio moved onto Nickelback, Limp Bizkit & Linkin Park and never looked back. "A Place in the Sun" is now lost forever in a sea of 90's nostalgia along with Len, The Flys & Oleander. You're going to have to really dig to find this stuff in 10 years. Get it while you can-
