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 71.6/100, a mean average of 70.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

“Just back from Portobello Road/Notting Hill on one of my usual Sunday jaunts. Passed up on a couple of things (a test press of The Field Mice's Coastal for £50 - was sorely tempted, and a copy of Music For Films) but instead picked up: Both represses, both found in a bargain bin by the front door…”

“I'd forgotten just how much I love this record. I guess it gets overshadowed by what Lennox would do in future projects and Sung Tongs coming out the same year (though it acts as a pretty perfect compliment to that record).”
