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 is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.9/100, a mean average of 79.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

Brilliant pop. Throw in a Little Rock and rap too. Just so much fun, and a very sexy band. Heart of Glass was the big hit but I love it all the way to the end with Rip Her to Shreds.

Even better if you have the UK pressing as you also get Denis, Picture This and Union City Blue...you do lose One Way Or Another though.
